Transcript of Art exhibition - The Fall of Icarus
Primary School of Pteleos, Greece
2010 - 2011
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!
“The fall of Icarus”, by Bill Tsouvalias
“The fall of Icarus”, by Chryssa
Papalexopoulou
“The fall of Icarus”, by Christina Argyriou
