Puzzle Pieces!

This project introduced warm and cool colors. I think it was a great idea to get the students to understand the differences between the two. Each student had a puzzle piece and was to draw an animal on it. The animal should be either a warm color or a cool color. You then used the opposite color to create lines or textures on the outside with the remaining warm/cool colors. All the puzzles fit together into a large puzzle that was hung on a bulletin board. An extension of this activity would be maybe introducing the student into the world of different kind of animals. Each student would have a certain animal to draw and they could look up information on that animal. The students could be broken up into mammal and non mammal. All the animals that were mammal would use warm colors to draw their animals make and make a large puzzle and vise versa for the non mammal. The students would then have a large puzzle to look at for the visual learners as well as research presentations for the audio learners.
