Join artist Dia Batal and learn about the beautiful work of artist Heba Y Amin, then make a collage of your imaginary landscape seen from above. This video is just over 3 minutes long and includes subtitles.
What you need
You can use anything from home to make your bird’s eye view collage. Here are some ideas but you can use whatever you can find. Dia shows you ideas of materials you can use in the video.
A piece of A4 paper
Coloured paper or card
Textures (bubble wrap, egg cartons, corrugated card)
Transparent materials (cling film, acetate, plastic)
Natural materials (leaves, flowers, spices)
Shiny materials (foil, shiny card)
Tall objects (straws, small twigs)
Sticky stuff (tape, glue, play clay)
What you will be doing
Taking inspiration from Heba Y Amin’s short film As Bird’s Flying. you will close your eyes and pretend that you are a bird flying over the world, imagining what you see below. Then you will make your imaginary landscape using your materials, with help from Dia.
