- What is the music like?
- What is it set?
- Is there a problem – solution?

Today and tomorrow in school we will be completing our final poppy designs. Most of you will have planned this design in school. Can you please draw a neat square (with about 18-20 cm sides). You will then need to sketch a poppy – we have been using the work of Carol Nelson as an inspiration. Remember to think carefully about how you use the space.
You can then start to collage your poppy with you chosen materials. As you are at home, you may find it easier to use magazines or newspaper rather than other materials. Tomorrow you will finish your design by using paint or your other chosen medium. There are some ideas below of poppy collages that may inspire you.
