Puzzle Piece

We made a giant class puzzle using hot and cold animals!  I was assigned to create a warm colored animal on my piece with geometric shapes in the background.  I chose to draw a fox!  Everyone in the third grade classroom was assigned a color scheme using hot or cold colors.  Then, we had to draw out of a bowl to see what our background would consist of.  Different backgrounds included: geometric shapes, organic shapes, lines and texture.  

An extension activity would be having each student create their own puzzle with a minimum of 10 different animals on the pieces.  They would still be required to use warm and cool color schemes!
