We made a variety of poppies for Remembrance Day. Students coloured, with markers or pencil crayons, both a ‘traditional’ poppy and one that was designed by an Indigenous artist. These were put on our wreath for display during the assembly. I will add a photo when I get it back from Mr. Stoffberg. We also made poppies in the style of Georgia O’Keefe. These were created through a directed drawing lesson done with pencil. Students then traced over their lines with china markers, also sometimes called grease pencils. Students coloured in the centre with green oil pastels. The poppy petals were painted with red tempera paint. Once the paint had dried, students went over the lines again with the china markers, cut the poppies out, and glued them onto the complementary colour of green construction paper. These are on the bulletin board with a few of the extra small poppies.
