Description: In this lesson, students are asked to first draw an animal in a cool color on a sheet of paper using the drawing upside down technique. This technique is appropriate for students who are in the primary grades, because they can then learn about drawing details and using technique instead of trying to draw from memory. After drawing their animal, the students create a pattern of warm colors over the top. Through this, they are learning about warm colors and cool colors. Finally, the students can create red eye goggles that will allow them to see through the warm colors to the cool color animal underneath. This completes the safari theme.
Extension:
I would extend this activity by using the camouflage activity that I made in Dr. Jay's class. I would have the students try to count all of the butterflies which are made up of black sharpie, white paper, and newsprint all against a newsprint background. The students generally aren't able to find all of the newsprint butterflies as easily as they can find the others. Using this activity, I would be able to teach my students more about how blending into surroundings is a trait that helps animals to survive.
