For this project, first we had to choose an animal that we would see on a safari in Africa. Once we choose which animal we wanted, we draw it on a piece of paper. Draw the animal in blue colored pencil. After you have drawn the animal, you are to use red, yellow, orange and other colors like that. With these colors you are to make designs the cover the remaining white on the page as well as over your animal. By the time you are done making shapes and designs all over the paper, you should not be able to see your animal that you drew in blue colored pencil.
Once all of that is complete, cut out red foil in the shape of glasses and glue it to a piece of construction paper that is of the same shape. These will be your magic glasses that you will be able to see your animal again.
Create a note card with three clues as to what your animal is.
You can incorporate this activity with math. For the designs and shapes you can use geometric shapes to cover your animal. After the students are done with their project, they can describe and list the geometric shapes shown in their art project.
