Hidden Safari

 For this project, we created a hidden safari. We started by making masks with red film and construction paper. Then, we picked an animal to draw. For the drawing, we flipped the picture upside down and copied the lines and curves to draw our animal. This was done with a blue colored pencil. While drawing, we had to make sure we were using light pressure so it wasn't too dark for the next step. After the animal was drawn, we used colors opposite of blue on the color wheel, such as yellow, orange, and red. With those colors, we drew shapes all over the paper in layers to completely cover it. At that point, there should be no blue showing and only the shapes. When the glasses are put on, you can see the animal and not the shapes. 

There are a lot of possibilities for an extension activity. Students could do a virtual field trip to a zoo. After the field trip they could pick their favorite animal and research some facts about the animal. Then they could create their drawing.
