Hidden Safari Animals


 Description: For this art activity I drew an animal shape in a cool blue color in the background. This art project goes off of the art of Herni Rousseau where he most commonly is known for hiding objects in his art work. One thing that I did to draw my animal is to draw it upside down. By doing this I got a more clear image of an actual animal. After drawing the animal I drew three different shapes with warm colors to cancel out the blue cool color to the naked eye. At the end we were to state 3 different hints about our animal. 


Extension: As an extension activity I will have students scribe a letter through mores code and pass it to one of their classmates to translate with their red color glasses. This will have students learning a different form of language as well as having students working together to decode the messages.

Vincent Van Gogh Project

 Description: This landscape tissue paper art is one similar to Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. To start this project off we did a painted down tissue paper to the backdrop. After that we used acrylic crayon and drew lines/shapes that helped incorporate a type of movement though out the backdrop. The last step I did was cut out a landscape picture to put in the front view.  Extension: For an extension to this activity I would have students find all different resources around the classroom, school, and their homes to have as their landscape. These items could include recycled paper, new paper, magazines, ect. The recycled material can represent why it is important to cycle and how it affects our landscape and views.
