In our Art Methods class we did an art project call the Hidden Safari. This project involved warm colors and cool colors as well as drawing. We drew a safari animal in a cool color (light blue) and then used warm colors to try to "hide" the animal. We used patterns and repetition with the warm colors to camouflage the safari animal which can only be seen through a pair of red film glasses. We made the red film glasses in class with certain material. This would be a very fun activity for kids. I was even amazed by the hidden animal and how the glasses revealed the animal.
An extension activity we could do would be the students to write math equations in cool colors and camouflage the equation with warm colors. We could hang the projects all around the room and the students could walk around solving equations for a math activity. It would get the students up and moving around the room as well. This would be a fun activity and hope to use it in my classroom!
