Remembrance Poppies

Lesson: Art and design

Class: Badgers (Years 5/6) Year: 2022 - 2023

After discovering why we wear poppies on Remembrance Day, we looked at Georgina O’Keeffe’s poppies.   We then drew our own pictures of poppies and made some poppies out of wire and red resin.    We used different techniques including smudging and blending to create the different perspectives in a poppy.   Whilst creating our wire poppies, we learnt to use some wire cutters and pliers to cut and join the wire, and a drill to make a hole in the wood to stand my poppies in.
