For this project, we practiced using warm and cool colors. First, we created our red glasses to help. We then drew a safari animal, practicing drawing upside down to pay closer attention to the lines. This animal was drawn in a cool color, blue crayon. We then covered the drawing with warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow crayon. We then added three clues as to which animal was hidden in our safari. When you look through your red glasses, you can see your safari animal hiding in the jungle.
For my project the three clues I included are, "I like to eat meat", "I have a long tail", and "I have stripes all over". What am I? A lion!
To extend this activity, students could get in small groups and read their clues to their group members to get them thinking about which type of animal may be hiding in their safari. They could then trade pictures and use their red glasses to try and see their hidden safari creature!
