Hidden Safari

-

 

Summary: 

The hidden safari is where we choose an animal that we will see on a safari. After we chose our animal we had to draw the animal upside down with a blue color pencil. We drew with a blue color pencil because it would show through the warm colors that we color on top. We could see the animal we drew when we put on special glasses that showed cool colors over warm colors. I drew these fun organic shapes in warm colors, these shapes were fun to draw because I would draw the shapes in one color and draw another set of shapes in another color. 

Extension Activity: 

I can use this project in a science lesson. Students will be allowed to pick an animal from an ecosystem that they were assigned and draw the animal on a piece of paper in blue color pencil. I would have the students draw the ecosystem that you could find the animal in on top of the animal that they drew in blue color pencil. When students are all done with the project, I will hang the student's projects up and give students the special glasses and they will have to go around and guess what animal it is before putting the glasses on. This will allow students to learn about new animals in different ecosystems from around the world that they may have never heard of before.

DOT Day Explorations

  Summary: The Dot by Peter Reynolds inspired this project where I created my own dot. I created my dot with coffee filters and I drew be bold with white crayon. Then, I used markers and chalk crayons to draw on my coffee filter. After I drew on the coffee filter, I took watercolor paints and started painting over the drawings. I blended the color of the paint with the chalk and markers to make the blue and purple color on my coffee filter. What I like the most about this project is how you can use this as a reading lesson and an art lesson. Doing this will make students excited because they will be able to create their own dot and show their creativity as well Extension Activity: An extension activity I can do is have the students create their own dot. This will allow students to customize the name tags on their lockers. The dots will replace the footprints that are on their locker from the previous art activity. Photograph:

 Summary:  For this project, we were assigned an ecosystem from around the world. I was assigned the grassland ecosystem and I based it off of the South Dakota grassland. In the beginning, we had to draw different elements of our ecosystem and we had to make sure that we included at least one animal into our drawing. With this in mind, I drew a Buffalo, grass, tree, the sun, birds, and Mount Rushmore. I drew a Buffalo because they were commonly found in South Dakota before they were nearly hunted to extinction in the late 1800s and they could be found in Custer State Park. I included Mount Rushmore in my drawing because when I think of South Dakota, I can't help thinking of Mount Rushmore. I drew the other elements because they are the main parts of the grassland ecosystem. When we were done with the drawing, we had to place a piece of foam on top of it. We had to trace out drawings on the foam, so we could put paint on the foam and place the painted foam on a larger piece of ...

 Summary: This drawing project is where we cut a white piece of paper into four sections. In each section, we had to draw something that we like to do in our free time. I drew a yellow redbull can because redbull is my go-to energy drink to have when I feel I need more energy. Next, I drew a cowboy boot because I like listening to country music and I grew up on a farm. I drew the cowboy boot in colored pencil and used green for the hill that the boot sits on. Then, I drew the bee because my favorite show is Bridgerton and the bee is a symbol in the show. Lastly, I drew the Ziggi's logo because I like going to Ziggi's to get their energy infusion when I feel like I need to treat myself. For the project, we had to use three different types of media and I used colored pencils, crayons, and markers.  Extension Activity: I can use this project in a social studies lesson. Students will be assigned a historical figure from America that we are learning about in class. The students wil...
