camouflage critters
I feel no shame saying, that like many of you I love this book: I have used a lot of lessons straight from this book. The kids like the lessons and are willing to work hard on them. A few lessons use materials that are hard to get, hard to work with or not practical but overall I think it's a great book. So one of my favorite lessons is the camouflage critters. I've done this lesson in the past with sharpies and tooling foil but this year we just used construction paper, tempra paint and oil…

4th GRADE--Camouflage Lizards
The 4th grade students reviewed the warm and cool color schemes. We also discussed what camouflage is and what it does for animals and people. Students were able to choose either the warm or cool colors to create a camouflaged background. Then they chose an animal that uses camouflage and used the same color scheme to create a camouflage effect in their artwork. Finally students reviewed what three-dimensional is and made their animal pop out of their work.

This is a fun chalk pastel lesson that I've done for years with Grade 8 students. I found the lesson plan here on the School Specialty website. Here's how we did it: I pre-distribute white tempera paint into old plastic containers... on one sheet of black construction paper, paint some 'sections' on a second sheet of black paper, sketch out and paint a large reptile. let the paint dry - we did two coats of white paint so it was x-tra bright... take out your chalk pastels.... students had to…
