Dioramas

I did this project with an after school class. All the student's and I loved loved working on this project. Students used small cardboard boxes to create miniature buildings, forts, castles, burrows, and underwater caves. All the students helped bring in boxes and I was able to supply some miscellaneous mixed media materials. Once the students got going and understood everything that could be done with simple boxes, they wouldn't stop bringing them in and kept salvaging bits from the school recycling bins. So many of them saw infinite possibilities in the everyday materials.

This student added animals to populate her forest/animal village.


I love the onion top dome on this one!
