Make yourself into a bird!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The whole family is welcome to a collage and drawing workshop inspired by our new summer exhibition “Birds”!<\/h4>\n

In this workshop we will be making ourselves, a friend or a family member as a bird.<\/h4>\n

If you would be a bird, what type would you be? An Icelandic one, a tropical one or maybe even a dinosaur bird?<\/p>\n

With simple shapes we will cut out a bird and assemble it on a colour paper. Guests can add accessories to make it more personal \u2013 add a moustache, hat, tie, jacket, funny shoes, glasses\u2026After dressing up your bird you can add your bird name.<\/p>\n

For this workshop we will find inspiration in the book Aaltonen the Duck<\/em><\/strong> and the Art of Flying<\/em><\/strong> (Anden Aaltonen och konsten att flyga) , from Veera Salmi with beautiful illustrations by Matti Pikkuj\u00e4ms\u00e4. It was nominatet for the Nordic Council Children\u00b4s and youth literature price in 2020. A pedagogical material can be found in all Nordic languages at bokslukaren.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We will of course also seek inspiration in the book Birds <\/em><\/strong>by Hj\u00f6rleifur Hjartarson and R\u00e1n Flygenring and all the birds passing by the pond in Vatnsm\u00fdrin outside the Nordic House.<\/p>\n

The workshop takes place in the Children\u00b4s library where the exhibition \u201cBirds” is installed. The exhibition highlight thirteen birds that have a home or have stopped by in Vatnsm\u00fdrin outside the Nordic House \u2013 which is also a bird conservation area.<\/p>\n
