Dioramas are a wonderful way to explore a theme, as it combines the different areas of art in one project (construction, modelling, painting, drawing etc). When faced with the practical challenge of creating a 3D world students are able to develop their problem solving and conceptualisation skills, and learn about composition and design.

Creating your diorama:

• Step 1: Plan out a design on paper, noting the colours and layers required to build a scene.
• Step 2: Make a list of the materials to be used. Explore textures, materials, colours etc.
• Step 3: Decorate the background of the diorama. Use Slicks (paint sticks), poster colours, markers, paper and other collage materials. The outer shell can also be decorated.
• Step 4: Build up the ground, sides and landscape. Encourage students to explore perspective effects.
• Step 5: Add details and other features.
