This book presents selected works from the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland that, in different ways, explore Icelandic folktales and the world of stories connected to them. The educational material is based on the work of specialists at the National Gallery of Iceland who, in collaboration with artists, folklorists, teachers, schools, and students across the country, have developed new material for education and creative discussion.
The artworks introduced here have been selected with the aim of being useful for all school levels. They encourage dialogue and relate directly to visual and cultural literacy. The book also includes ideas for creative games that can be used as breaks in teaching or simply for fun. In addition, the book contains selected folktales, most of them taken from Jón Árnason’s collection of Icelandic folktales.
