When manufacture a shoebox diorama the very first thing you should do is think surface the box! I mean this no ifs ands or buts in that you no ifs ands or buts don’t have to use a shoebox to make your shoebox diorama. You can use any whole of curious containers to make a no ifs ands or buts unique diorama housing. But I recommend you take this reasoning to a second step and use something that adds a level of meaning to your diorama.
For example, if you are going to make a diorama about coffee plantations you might want to use a big coffee can as the actual diorama housing. This adds a level of uniqueness that also adds meaning to your diorama. It gives citizen something to talk about. Think about what your diorama is going to be about and then look nearby for housing ideas. Someone else good example of this would be an ocean diorama. This is a very beloved theme for a diorama and I made a diorama by hollowing out a Styrofoam lobster trap buoy. It looks no ifs ands or buts nice and gives the whole diorama a very marine feeling. Of course if you are going to make a diorama of a shoe store or a shoe facility then a shoebox is perfect!
Tell A Story or Capture a moment in Time
One of the best things about a diorama is that they can not only show a scene but they can tell a story by capturing a single moment in time. A good example of this is if you want to build a medieval diorama with a castle you could put a dragon and a knight in battle. If you are manufacture an ocean diorama you could capture the moment just before a big fish is about to gobble up a dinky fish. This tells a story. There is an event frosty in time and it gives your audience something to think about and questions to ask. What is happening in this diorama? What is going to happen next?
Explain something with the structure of the diorama
This is a dinky bit harder to do but can be the most rewarding aspect of diorama making. Think about how the structure or materials of the diorama can be used to elaborate the story or point you are trying to make. A good example of this would be a rainforest diorama. The rainforest has five layers from the over canopy to the ground layer. You could build your diorama in five separate layers. This way the actual structure of the diorama helps to make the point of how the actual rainforest is.
A shoebox diorama can be a beautiful dinky facsimile of the real world and there are lots of ways to make it creative and special. All you have to do is think surface the shoebox!
