WE MAKE THREE-DIMENSIONAL
BOOKS
WORKSHOPS FOR
SCHOOLS/LIBRARIES
This workshop has the aim to make some dummies of
three-dimensional books - movable or tactile books – of a text or an
"experience" chosen by the teachers of your school to be realized with children.
Considering the fact that the whole school cannot be
involved in the project, it's better to choose traditional stories so that the
book made in the workshop can be realized in other classes at school without our
participation.

FIRST STEP
Choice of a story – invented or traditional – to be illustrated with
three-dimensional images. The story (possibly max two pages) has to be sent , by
mail or by fax, to "Il libro ha tre dimensioni" before enough time the beginning
of the workshop to permit the realization of the dummy.
SECOND STEP
"Il libro ha
tre dimensioni" will project four work units and the dummy to be presented to
the teachers.

THIRD STEP
The workshop will be developed in meetings of two hours
each.
After telling the story and choosing its main sequences, the children
will be invited to cut, colour, fold and stick in order to transform a
bi-dimensional image in a three-dimensional one. It is very useful the
collaboration of teachers or of the library workers to help the children who
could have some problems in doing these activities.
The cost for this kind of workshop includes the project of
the book and the whole amount of paper necessary for every child involved in the
workshop.
The school/library has to arrange the room and supply enough glue,
scissors, felt-tip pens (or other kinds of colours) for children.
