Dioramas are a kind of art that tell a story, so naturally you can use a diorama to reproduce a scene from the book, cartoon or film. You can create the mountainous landscape with tiny Whoville nestled in its cozy valley, or reproduce one of the scenes when the Grinch is in a Who home stealing presents. You can purchase Grinch action figures for your diorama or just make cardboard cutouts of the Grinch and the other characters from the story.
The right combination of clothing, accessories and hairstyle can also make an interesting art activity. The Grinch himself has a unique look that is dominated by the color green, a pointy hairdo and a permanent scowl. This can be accomplished with some green face paint or a mask, a Santa hat and top, and green pants. While the Whos wear very simple clothing, they have multicolored hairstyles and some features of their clothes are exaggerated, like the oversize collars and strangely colored hair.
The artistry of Dr. Seuss is part of what makes the Grinch and his adventures in Whoville so memorable. The characters and the sets and accessories that accompany them, like warped and silly musical instruments and toys, can be recreated or copied in a variety of ways to make interesting art. The designs can be drawn and used as posters for a classroom or a child's room, or transferred to an iron-on patch and used on clothing or other textiles.
Christmas arts and crafts frequently feature the Grinch. He appears on bulbs for the tree, strings of lights, and in countless variations of snow globes. Since the Grinch is also a rather frightening villain, he also turns up as a Halloween costume or as a poster to scare trick-or-treaters. But the Grinch is not the only star of this show. The quirks of Whoville also appear in Christmas art, including their elaborate toys and dramatic decorations. You can also make such designs at home with clay, plasticine or cardboard and some adhesive.
