The following art installation is in commemoration of Yom Hazikaron and has been made by over 120 Year 8 pupils from King David High, Yavneh Girls and Yavneh Boys Schools.  The giant Magen David has been constructed from over 200 individually decorated cardboard triangles.
​
Each pupil designed and created at least one triangle, which they dedicated to the life of a fallen soldier fighting terrorism in Israel.  Pupils began the project by researching their chosen soldier from the "A Face. A Day. A Name" website, a commemorative website of animated films capturing the memories from the lives of fallen IDF soldiers.  Over a 100 triangles were decorated with poignant words relating to individual soldiers and a further  100 triangles were partially covered with an embroidered Magen David.  The black fabric of the Magen David is representative of lost life and the green thread of the IDF uniform.  

Combining different creative skills including embroidery, typography design and painting skills Over 120 pupils were involved in the designing and making of the artwork.  The installation is made from 250 cardboard triangles which have been dedicated to an Israeli soldier using over 250 cardboard triangles.

Thank you to all teachers, staff, sixth formers and pupils involved in the making of this artwork.  From concept to construction - we did it!!! edit.
