Some Art Lessons to keep you busy during the Quarantine!
Viking Ship
This week: Let’s learn about Viking Ships and brainstorm in order to prepare to draw our own.
Day 1: Read some highlights about Viking Ships from the attached file. Watch the 5 min Viking Video. Take notes and sketch along. Notice important parts of the Viking Longship: Dragon design of bow and stern, shields, sail, oars.
Day 2: Let’s do some Thumbnail sketches (small, practice sketches) to prepare for our Longship Drawing Project. Look at the Longship Photo for reference and do thumbnails of the bow (dragon ‘front’ of the boat) and stern (dragon tail ‘back’ of the boat). Practice a shield or two.
Next week: Draw a thumbnail sketch of your own Viking Ship to plan. Choose your medium (pencils, colored pencils, markers, etc.). Then start your final drawing!
Beautiful job, Ethan, with your finished project!
