Poppy Art – ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day, Memorial Day, Armistice Day, etc (Design A)

A super-fun art project for your students when celebrating special days such as:
♦ ANZAC Day
♦ Remembrance Day
♦ Memorial Day
♦ Armistice Day

This project involves your students ruling straight lines between 2 dots on a template, to create poppy inspired art work. This is Design A (wreath).

Included:
♦ Template
♦ Example – black/white and colour
♦ Instructions

Level of Difficulty:
Your students need to be able to use a ruler to draw straight lines between 2 points (even the curves are made with straight lines … it’s like magic!). The designs look more complicated than they actually are. Concentration is required, but the actual process is not difficult.

Instructions:
Simple, clear, easy-to-follow instructions are provided. One instruction per page (image and a sentence). Display the instructions via a data projector if you have access to one. Otherwise print and enlarge them and/or demonstrate on an enlarged template.

Equipment Needed:
You need a ruler and a pen (black works best). Something to colour with (eg coloured pencils, watercolours, felt tip markers, chalk pastels, dye, etc)

Size:
The artwork measures approximately 17cm x 17cm. Designed on A4 size paper.

These designs are also available (in my store):
* Design B - cross
* Design C - medal
* Design D - poppy

Keywords: string art, parabolic curves, math, geometry, patterns, war, symbolism, veteran
