We created a hidden safari using the upside-down drawing technique. We had the option of picking an animal of our choice. I picked a tiger for mine. WE lightly drew the animal in blue colored pencil. After we had our animal drawn we got to pick warm colors of our choice to create patterns over the previous drawing. We created a pair of red film glasses and when we wore the glasses we were able to see the hidden drawing that you aren’t able to see without the glasses on.
Extension Activity: After the students complete this assignment we will have a show and tell time for the students to share their drawings with their classmates. They will be able to read their three clues to everyone and have them guess. After all the guessing is done everyone will go around looking at everyone’s drawings with their red film glasses.
We reviewed Van Gogh's paintings and the elements that he used throughout his artwork. We got to use different colored tissue paper to create a background. My landscape was a mountain scenery that remind me of Big Sky Montana. I used mainly cool colors to represent the sky and snow. We also used oil pastels to create snow at the top of my black paper mountains and swirls in the background like Van Gogh did throughout his artwork. Extension: An extension activity I think would be interesting with this art assignment would be for the students to write a short paragraph about the reasoning behind their background color choice and scenery image and use their imaginations. Their paragraph and artwork would be hung up in the hallways outside of the classroom.
