Recently in art, we created Viking longships, linking into the topic we had been recently learning about in history. There were many steps involved in creating the longships.
First, we had to create a sky using paint in vertical strokes and oil pastel for detail. We also painted an A3 sheet using various methods (sponging, scraping, spatter painting etc.) to create the sea. When dry, the sea had to be torn into wavy strips and adhered under the skyline. Then we made our longships from card, decorating them with marker, crayon and colouring pencil. We created effective dragon heads for the tops of our boats. Finally, we had to make 3D effect sails from paper and shade them with various tones to create texture. They turned out brilliantly! Why not pop in and see them if you're passing by?
