I Spy (Camouflaged Animals in Art!)

Description:

Students discuss how the environment influences animal characteristics by looking at Hans Hoffmann's painting A Hare in the Forest. After the discussion, students research an animal that uses camouflage, paint that animal within its environment, and write a sentence describing its habitat. Students use this as a basis on which to write a sequential narrative about their animal and its relationship to its environment.
