Students created beautiful poppies.
We began with a directed drawing lesson where the students drew a large poppy on white paper. They then traced these with black China markers (a type of grease pencil). The centre circle was solidly coloured in with green waxed crayons. Students then painted the petals red. This all happened on Friday. Today, when the paint was dry, students traced over their outlines, cut the poppies out, and glued them onto green construction paper.
The complementary colours (red and green) really pop when put together!
These are on the bulletin board at the back of our classroom. They look amazing!
