Hidden Safari

For my hidden safari I drew a zebra in sky blue colored pencil. After the zebra was finished I used warm colors in a pattern to cover the entire page. This would cause the blue animal to be lost in the safari. After the picture is done you use red colored glasses to see the zebra completely. The warm colors are not see through the red glasses so you see your animal. This is a great trick project to do with a 6th grade class. For an art project students can draw something that they have lost, or something they misplaced at one time. The could then draw patterns over the top of the lost item and see if students can find the item. Students could also draw several lost items to see how many items can be found. A teacher could link this art project with math by having students use different symbols or numbers. Students could also write math equations and then have students see if the answer is under the safari.
