Camouflaged Critters! by Elementary I

EI students had a blast discussing patterns found in nature, from tree rings to the petals of a flower.  We also discussed how these natural patterns are beneficial to other living creatures in the form of camouflage.  Students got right to work sketching out various patterns, focusing on repetition, variation, and movement in their designs.  Once the patterns were complete, students added a creature of their choice to camouflage in their artwork.  Enjoy!
