Hidden Safari

Hidden image

This activity uses warm and cool colors to create a hidden image. We drew safari animals upside down in a cool color (light blue works best). Drawing illustrations upside down allows the mind to stress less about the big picture and focus in on details like lines. Then we created a pattern over the top with warm colors (orange, red, yellow). Finally, we used a pair of red cellophane glasses that we created to find the hidden animals.
