Poppy Art

On Saturday this weekend is Anzac day, so some of our work is about it. One of the tasks that we have to do was make some poppies out of the things we have at home. I made mine today and here's how I made them.  

The things I used for the poppies were red card for the petals, green card for the stem and I used black card to go in the centre of the poppies. Since I didn't have any red card I painted some white card yesterday with red paint on both sides. I let the paint dry over night so it would be dry and ready for me to use today. I first used a pencil to draw an outline of a poppy on the red card so I would know where to cut. Once I had cut the outline of the poppies out I moved on to the green card. I first counted how much poppies there were so I would know how much strips of green card to cut out. Once I had cut the strips of green card I moved on to the black card. For the black card I needed to cut it in to little circles so I folded the card in half and cut the card out like I was cutting half of a circle but when I unfolded it, it was a circle.

When I had all the bits I needed I glued them in place. First I grabbed a red piece and used a glue stick to glue the black circles in the middle on both sides of the red piece. Then I grabbed a green strip and glued it on to the bottom of a red piece and i did the same to all of them. Here's how they turned out.
