If you need to study the Vikings why not have a go at creating some Viking, or Saxon people out of Fimo/Polymer Clay/Sculpy. Roll a ball of the body colour, snip two holes up the sides and push round for arms. Pop a pair of feet on the bottom. Out of flesh coloured Fimo roll a ball for a head and pop a small ball on for a nose, push something in (ie a pen) to create a mouth and eyes. Add a little ball by the arm for hands. Next all you need to do is add accessories, hair, helmets or shields etc. Bake in the oven according to instructions on the packet. It's easy once you get the idea, just take a look at the photos and let your imagination lead the way.
The idea of this page is to compile art lesson ideas for my daughter. Anyone is welcome to share this information, but I own the copyright to all the images of paintings that are used in this blog.

I have used these ideas throughout the years, but I expect that I found some of them elsewhere. There is not much new under the sun.
