Happy Habitats
I was commissioned by the University of Dundee to host a family workshop in the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum, to coincide with the Decade of Design exhibition running during the summer.
I developed a workshop in which participants could pick a creature from the zoology museum and create a 3d habitat for it to live in. The session started with a scavenger hunt around the museum, looking for something small, big, with lots of teeth, and something that lives in the sea, forest and a cold place.
I spoke through my development process for making illustrations and interactive pages, and then showed how to create a diorama and triorama as a base for the creations, showing examples I’d made earlier too. The finished results were created using a mix of collage, pencils, pen, different sticky materials and captions to show the different elements of the home.
