For this project, we focused on the use of warm and cool colors. We took a blank sheet of paper and drew an African animal on it with a light blue colored pencil. We drew our animals upside down so that way we did not focus on trying to make it look exactly like the picture we were modeling it from. We then drew a variety of geometric patterns over it using warm colors to "camouflage" our animals. We ended by making our own red film glasses which helped us to see our hidden animals.
For an extension activity, I would do a similar exercise, but instead of animals, I would have students draw a hidden character from a story that we have read. They would then have to give their classmates hints to see if they could guess who the character is based on the information that they are given.
