Three-dimensional:
Dioramas are not flat images; they have depth and can be viewed from multiple angles.
Miniature or Life-size:
Dioramas can be small, like those used in model building or education, or they can be life-size, as seen in some museum exhibits.
Scene Representation:
They depict a specific scene or setting, often with attention to detail and realism.
A plan is like a map that helps you know what to do first, next, and last. For example, if you are making a diorama of the ocean, your plan might say to paint the box blue first, then make fish, and then add seaweed. Sometimes, you might not follow the plan in a straight line — and that's okay! You might decide to make the fish before painting, or add more sea creatures later. A non-linear plan allows you to adjust your ideas and be creative, making your ocean diorama even better. It's essential to write down these changes on your planning sheet so you remember what you did and can explain your ideas to others.
