In preparation for our Remembrance Day Assembly on Friday our class was charged with creating a wreath to present.

We started out with a plain, red circle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then all of the students created poppies and leaves to add.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The students added their poppies and leaves to the circle as one student took on the leadership role, guiding the placement.

 

 

 

 

 

The result is BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We started our discussion about Remembrance Day with a shared reading of, “A Poppy Is To Remember”

Then, it was time to use our creativity to complete an art project using mixed media.

First, students used water-colour paint for the background. Then they used construction paper and tissue to make a collection of poppies. They thought about shape and texture as they created their poppies. Next, they used black paint to create stems and some leaves and glued the poppies to the background. Finally, they added a title. Students thought about the use of space as everything was added to their backgrounds.
