In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes. Educators present learners with three rounds of observation tasks, each with a different challenge. Although designed to improve observations in a gallery, this activity can be used to enhance observation skills for many scenarios.
