Inuit Art

This week the students have been studying different forms of Inuit art. Inspired by the stone sculptures, I will give the students a bar of soap this week to etch a design, arctic landscape, animal, inuksuk, pretty much anything they would like inspired by the arctic. They will pre-plan their design, sketch some ideas out and when they are done etching the soap we will paint it so the design stands out. I'm excited about this project and the students seem to be too!

Here is a website we looked at and some videos we watched in class:
