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.
