WEEK 2 - ANZAC DAY ACTIVITY

What does ANZAC Day mean to you?

To show support for our Soldiers and to let them know we are thinking of them at this time, I though it would be great to put your ANZAC artwork in your front windows. 

Remember to please email me a photo to toma.katrina.h@edumail.vic.gov.au

How to Create an ANZAC Soldier Silhouette Artwork

1.    Simply create a sunset background using one of the techniques below.

2.    Cut out the template and glue it on top of the sunset.

3.    Trim the edges of the background to match the template (i.e. trim around the outside of the circular template, or trim the sides of the rectangle template).

Sunset Background Techniques

·         Use red, orange, yellow and purple oil pastels to create a sunset. Gently blend the edges of each colour into the next.

·         Lay coloured crepe paper over a piece of white card and spray the crepe paper with water. Leave it for 2 to 3 minutes and allow the dye to soak into the white card. Remove the crepe paper and let the card dry.

·         Use watercolour paints to create the sunset.

·         Stick tissue paper squares onto the sticky side of clear book contact to create a background for the silhouette.

2. Create an Anzac Day Wreath

The wreath is a traditional tribute for Anzac Day services. They are traditionally woven with Laurel leaves, which was used as a symbol of honour as far back as the ancient Romans to crown victors and the brave. The wreaths are also adorned with red poppies.

Extension: Egg carton poppies

1.          Cut egg carton into poppies

2.          Use paint, texta’s, crayons, pencils to colour the poppies red.

3.          Use black to make the middle of the flower.

Poppies can be made into a wreath, on a picture, or on a stick/pipe cleaner in a vase.
