Creature Crisis is an immersive art exhibition tailored for children aged 8-11, situated within the Natural History Museum. It aims to highlight the environmental challenges marine life faces. Recognising the resistance of older generations to adopt necessary environmental habits, the project focuses on engaging younger minds, who are more receptive to learning and change. Through innovative methods like tactile peeking holes, children discover striking installations involving plastic pollution, ghost nets, and bleached coral beneath the oceanic scene, alongside concise explanations of the creatures’ endangerment and actionable steps for positive change.

These sketchbook pages explore two approaches to presenting the exhibition in a way that best engages the target audience. I chose the second concept, where the oceanic designs I illustrated draw in the audience while subtly masking the horrors lurking beneath the surface. The peeking holes filled with littered installations add a tactile and interactive element, ideal for engaging children aged 8-11, who are predominantly tactile learners
