Overview

The Animalis Abecedārium Pop Up book was originally created as a bachelor's thesis project to enhance children's learning of the English language alphabet in an aesthetically pleasing and didactic manner. Through the use of low poly and high poly illustration, this book nurtures the teaching of a second language while also emphasizing the importance of play in the learning process.

Using animals to teach the alphabet is based on their etymology, with the word "animal" originating from the Latin "animalis," meaning to have breath, soul, or to be alive. This concept helps children to approach nature in an instinctual and unconscious way, leading to a greater appreciation of the world around them as they grow older.

The Animalis Abecedārium Pop Up book takes a creative approach to teaching the 26 letters of the alphabet by geometricizing them using the poly technique. This results in visually stimulating illustrations that enrich children's vocabulary and helps them to identify the letters both visually and aurally, while enjoying the playful and interactive aspects of the pop-up book.

Overall, the Animalis Abecedārium Pop Up book offers an engaging and effective way to teach children the English language alphabet, while fostering their creativity and love for learning through paper architecture and the use of animals in design.

The use of paper architecture and illustration can cultivate a love for learning in children by making the educational experience more fun, playful, and interactive. It can also foster creativity and imagination, as children are encouraged to think outside the box and explore different ways of learning.

In summary, the Animalis Abecedārium Pop Up book demonstrates how paper architecture and illustration can be used effectively in early learning to promote better understanding, retention, and appreciation of educational material, while also fostering creativity and imagination.
