====== 3D printing Character & Diorama (Book club) Session 1 ======


====== Activity Outline ======

We explained how stage and optical displays are made. We discuss how we can use these “stages” to capture different environments/worlds to use in photo, movie or cartoon images

====== Materials needed ======

Diorama in flat form (templates supplied by SLQ)

Pencils

Computer and colour printer with internet access

Hot glue guns, glue sticks and rubber bands

Safety knife

Optional extras – led lights and batteries

====== Recommendations ======

Look at a how to make cardboard templates 

Use Youtube and Internet to research dioramas

====== Discussion ======

We discussed what we would like our stage (world) to look like and thought about the concept of 3D visuals that we would need (ground/floor, sky/roof) and how we need to get the correct size for our dioramas. Using imaginations and mathematics we could bring our worlds to life 

====== Reflection ======


We had a group of 10 – good size. Some kids need help with getting the print out sizes correct. Having  an extra person to assist in this area would be helpful


====== Photos ======
