Hidden Safari

 Project

    Students will learn about savannah animals and be able to name at least three. They will then use warm and cool colors to create a camouflaged animal, drawing the animal in cool colors and then creating patterns on top of their drawing in warm colors. They will also learn a new way to draw: upside down. Students are given different animals to draw. After choosing one, the student will copy the drawing by turning their paper upside down. Turning the paper upside down makes the student see the animal from a different perspective, allowing them to draw details that they might have missed drawing the usual way. Using a red film, students will then create glasses to "find" their animals. The red film acts as a filter for the warm colors, revealing the cool-colored animal underneath. Students will then get a notecard and write down three clues about the animal they drew.

Extension

    Students will learn about all the different types of natural camouflage that animals can have. Students will then be tasked to create their own camouflage for the classroom.
