Art Lessons: Viking People and Viking Ships
Who doesn't love a fierce fighting Viking? I know my students LOVED this project!!! We studied the various characteristics of a Viking plus added all their tools of the trade. My students loved creating personalities for their Vikings, making them either a guy or a gal. Can you say CUTENESS overload??? The boys loved adding the details to their Vikings such as axes, hammers, spears, shovels.... just to name a few items. Girls added aprons, bows and braids. What’s a Viking without a Viking ship?
