This project is devised to engage students in optical illusions and stimulate their understanding of color. To commence the lesson, the teacher initiated a discussion on color and color theory. Following this, students viewed slides featuring various animals, prompting observation and discussion. Subsequently, students selected drawings of safari animals like giraffes, elephants, and gorillas, then received a blank sheet of paper and a blue colored pencil. They lightly outlined their chosen animal in blue before coloring it with warm hues such as red, orange, and yellow, incorporating patterns like swirls, squiggles, and dots. Once their hidden safari scene was complete, students crafted red glasses to reveal it. Using a provided template, students cut out sunglasses shapes from red paper and affixed pre-cut red plastic lenses. After allowing the glue to dry, students could use their red glasses to unveil the hidden images. This project captivates students, who are enthralled by the "magical" transformation brought about by the interplay of colors.
An extension activity could involve science. The student can research their own animal and learn more about them.
