What does this resource contain?
This resource contains four templates for making quadramas of the four seasons. Each template has a sketch of a scene that represents one of the seasons: spring, summer, fall, or winter. You can color the sketches with crayons, markers, pencils, or paints. The resource also provides you with 2-D and 3-D stickers that you can use to add more details to your scenes. The stickers include flowers, leaves, snowflakes, animals, and more. You can also use your own materials to personalize your quadramas.
The Four Seasons in 3-D: A Quadrama Project
A diorama is a three-dimensional picture in the form of a display model or ‘cabinet’ that can create the perfect illusion of spatial depth. The background can be painted to show a landscape, for example, and in the foreground stories can be depicted with model figures. Before we had film, TV, and video, you could depict historical scenes, social settings, occupations, and animals in their natural environments in this manner. The observer could travel through the mini worlds of display cabinets – an exciting thing for little kids of the time.
A quadrama is a development of this brilliant idea. Because with a quadrama you can show four scenes that go together at the same time. Seen from above and front on, a quadrama is a type of open pyramid with four separate spaces, where in each space something different is going on. It might sound complicated but it’s actually very simple to make, unmake, and remake. The results of such a display are also fascinating in the era of 3-D glasses. The four seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter are perfect for a quadrama, with which every kid can make a 3-D model of the changing year. One of the seasons is depicted in each of the four display spaces. The four scenes are already sketched out but can be individualized with the little stickers included in this material. Kids can also fill each scene with their favorite figures, cars, dinosaurs, rocks, snail shells, acorns, etc. and thereby create their own personal seasons.
