Pop Up Dictionary Workshop

A really enjoyable project organised by House of Illustration with two Year 5 classes at Richard Cobden School in Camden. Assisted by illustrator Julie Vermeille, I worked with the pupils to create interactive ‘Dictionaries of Tricky Words’ which we recorded using stop motion films. The dictionaries were made up of words that their teachers had identified as ones that had been tricky (either because of spelling or concept) over the year. The children worked really hard and used lots of new techniques- pop ups, sliding tabs, etc and loads of collage materials to create the books. Their efforts resulted in the films below which are full of fantastic ideas and illustrations.

Early in the workshops the children also worked to produce these pop up calligrams.
