Hidden Safari Drawing:

This is a drawing of an elephant. I drew it in a cool color (light blue). I then drew over it with warmer colors and used a variety of patterns. This camoflaged the drawing of the elephant. When the students put on their already made glasses, the picture of the elephant will appear. An extention activity for this drawing could be a lesson on animals that use camoflage as a form of protection. The studnets could research different animals and then draw a picture similar to this one to depict their reasearch.  

This is a Eric Karle inspired painting. His paintings are very unique and many different strokes and colors are used. I painted many different papers a couple days before. I cut the shapes out of the painted papers. This created a variety of textures and colors. 

 In the classroom, I would let the students make their own stories  and use their own colors. To integrate a subject, I would use it is reading. The students could read a story and create a collage from what they see in their head. It would be very cool to see what each child comes up with!
