3D Art Summer Class for Kids

The perfect way to keep your little ones creative this summer!

When you hear 3D art and children, many of us think back to our childhoods and dioramas or those shoebox art projects we had to make in school. Dioramas were once used in elementary schools as teaching tools. But what is a diorama, and why was this such an effective way to teach young students about history and science? A diorama is a three-dimensional model of a scene or object. They can be made from various materials, including cardboard, wood, or plastic. Dioramas are often used in museums to help illustrate the scenes described in ancient texts or to showcase the natural habitats of animals. In schools, they can be used to teach history, science, and geography. For example, a diorama of Ancient Greece could depict the Parthenon or Zeus’s Temple. A diorama of Noah’s Ark could show different types of animals that boarded the ark. Whatever the subject, dioramas or any type of three-dimensional art really captures the attention of people.

3D art for kids has grown, changed, and evolved at Tupperberry! We will be taking the concept of three-dimensional art and making it even better. We will be doing some individual 3D creations this summer.  And, we will be doing a larger scale 3D art installation in our latest addition to our camps this summer! Your kids won’t want to miss out! 

We will be learning paper mache techniques and how to use those to make a truly team-built art installation. Paper mache is typically used to make figurines, bowls, vases, and much more. Paper mache uses water and paper and sometimes a thickener or glue to create three-dimensional pieces when combined can create amazing dimensional art. We will be taking this concept and working together to create our very own Tupperberry art install.

The best part of the summer camps is it’s a chance for students to learn new techniques and get a little messy and you don’t have to clean up! Don’t wait, and sign up here.
