Objective of the Workshop:
Children aged 5–7, 8–10, and 10–13 will collaborate to create two unique book presentation totems for the Bonaire Library. These totems serve as decorative and functional artworks, promoting less frequently borrowed books and highlighting new titles. The goal is to encourage reading while offering a visually appealing, lasting contribution to the library.
Process and materials
Participants use materials such as fabric, cardboard, papier-mâché, rope, wood, and collage. Each group contributes to different parts of the totems, which are assembled into complete presentations afterward. Children are given 50 minutes to channel their creativity into the designs.
interactive and sustainable
The totems are designed to be both decorative and interactive, featuring rotating panels or compartments for book displays. Frames are pre-prepared, allowing children to focus on decoration and assembly.
duration
Each workshop lasts 100 minutes, with 50 minutes dedicated to creating. The remaining time is used for project introduction, brainstorming, and finishing.
