Our focus in art has been tone. We used 2B sketching pencils and pen and ink to produce observational drawing of WWII gas masks.
- Each gas mask was provided in a cardboard box.
- By September 1939, 38 million gas masks had been issued.
- These masks were to protect from gas bombs.
- Gas mask drills took place in schools.
- A gas mask had to be carried with you at all times.
- Everyone was issued with a gas mask during the war.
