These three pop-up books were created in May 2021 by children from a primary school. During 15 workshops the children cut, drawn, painted, and shaped these dioramas representing the life of the marsh of La Rochelle, Tasdon. Each class was able to explore the universe of this marsh, accompanied by the mediators from the Relais de la Moulinette and the Museum of La Rochelle. Through the pages of their books, we discover the animals that inhabit the marsh, its evolution from prehistory to the future and its landscapes changing from season to season. Sometimes whimsical, but above all full of life, these miniature scenes invite you to discover this natural setting in the heart of the city. It's your turn to go for a walk in the marsh thanks to the website which allows you to browse the maps and dioramas created by the children!
Plouf & Floup is a book and an app created with two classes of the school Barthélémy Profit, La Rochelle. Children and their teachers, Anaïs Grignon and Manon Clauzel, invited us in their school from March to April 2016. During 6 weeks, we went to the aquarium, draw fishes or turtles, cut out colored papers, invented strange sea animals, written weird descriptions, imagined screwy creatures names... And created a big picture book of the ocean : Plouf. And his fantastic version : Floup.
This project is inspired by tip tap, mon imagier intéractif.
