As part of our work in to WW1 we created poppy art, where we rubbed chalk to make the paintings look old and dusty. We only used a few colours like red, black and grey as they represent war colours, and we used oil pastels in order to make the few colours stand out. We used images such as poppies, soldiers and graves to show the sadness of war. Some of us also added a layer of transparent paper on top of the image to give it a red tint.
