24th October - Viking Art

This week, for Art week, the children immersed themselves in different styles of Viking Art. They first learnt about all the phases of Viking art and what the stylistic features were, such as animal motifs. They then spent an afternoon, drawing a range of complex Viking knots which took a lot of skill and patience!

Next, they attempted to draw a knotted Viking animal including different artistic techniques such as lines, shading and stippling. They also included details within their drawings such as Runes (Viking letters). The week culminated in drawing a Viking warrior in proportion using all the techniques they'd learnt throughout the week. What a talented bunch they are!
