description

Our 6th grade English coursebook introduces – or, even better, brings back to our memory – the myth of Daedalus and Icarus (Unit 4). On p. 46, learners are invited to make their own painting of the fall of Icarus, having first commented on Pieter Brueghel’s painted landscape with the fall of Icarus, which was created in 1558 (oil on canvas, Musées Royaux des Beaux-arts de Belgique, Brussels), as well as a related poem. Here are our learners’ pieces of art!
