Jungle Safari

This project is a great way for kindergarten and first grades to really get excited about art and an easy way to teach them warm and cool color schemes. This safari project can only be viewed with your ruby red glasses. The students must first draw an animal on a piece of drawing paper with a sky blue pencil. Next the students choose warm color crayons to draw lines and shapes over the other drawing. They check to make sure they can still see the drawing underneath with their ruby red glasses. Continue to draw with the crayons until you can no longer see the drawing with the naked eye.
An extension exercise for this project would be to have the students would be to let the students act out different animals in a PE class. They will be excited to pick an animal that is special for them and have the freedom to express themselves.
