We have read the poem, “In Flanders Fields”, talked about what Remembrance Day is all about  and the symbols we have around this special day.

Today we used our art skills to create a piece of art with a Remembrance Day theme.  We used black because we decided that it is the colour that reminds us of fighting, anger, and sadness.  We used green because that colour makes us think of growth, hope and new beginnings.  We used red because it is the colour of blood but also a warm colour that makes us remember that  soldiers are good people fighting for positive things.

We also thought about some elements of design.  One of our goals was to use space, thinking of filling the top, middle and bottom. We also used paint and brushes to create texture.
