Iceland and Vikings

This week, you will learn about and make art about ICELAND!  Vikings and their history are a big part of Icelandic culture.  When we think of vikings, we sometimes think of fighting and war, but in Iceland they were mainly farmers and fishermen.  Begin by reading about Iceland and by watching the video about vikings!

Look at this sculpture called The Sun Voyager by Jon Gunnar Arnason, an artist from Iceland.  It is a landmark in Iceland's capital city, Reykjavik.  What do you notice about the sculpture?  What do you think it is?

Now, let's use our art skills to make a picture of a viking ship!  Follow along with this video:
