Puzzle Piece

We were asked to create puzzle pieces using warm and cool colored animals. Each table was assigned either warm or cool colors and then students chose their animals accordingly. I chose a fox for my puzzle piece. After or animals were chosen and drawn on our pieces, we drew out of a bowl to see which type of background was to be used. I drew "Geometric Shapes" out of the bowl for my background while other students in the class drew organic shapes, textures, or lines.

An extension activity that could be used for this project could be implimented in a Geography class. In groups, students could make maps of different continents by putting their puzzle pieces together.
