Check out the tiny Band-Aids, which the Canedos cut from real adhesive bandages. Jennie Mak is a big fan of the show, and found that making a diorama helped kill time while waiting for the third season to drop. Getting the look of the tiny bonnets on the Peeps right proved challenging, and Mak took inspiration from makeshift hats she had seen on handmaid Halloween costumes.
The various characters are color coded based on their class rank in the world of the show: eyes are blue peeps, commanders are royal purple, and aunts are pink. The Candy Warhol Museum is a structural victory among dioramas.
Every angle you look at, you see something different. Davis has been watching the results of the annual Peeps diorama contest for years, but this is her first submission. She says it took her 60 to 70 hours to make it. Just as Peeps dioramas have broadened our definitions of art, students Meera Barochia, Annie Dahlman, and Katrina Rowe set out on a similarly expansive project.
When their art history teacher assigned a Peeps diorama project, they looked beyond the quotidian—sculptures, paintings, and the like. Drawing inspiration from nature, the trio replicated the Lascaux caves in France, home to prehistoric cave paintings and some of our earliest examples of art. Natural materials abound in this lush, cavernous diorama. Prehistoric Peeps, complete with beards, spears, and animal skins, nestle among rocks, moss, and pine needles.
Vibrant primary colors explode to issue a clarion call worthy of the sweetest superhero. As juniors at Poolesville High School, Peeps artists Kenna Krueger and Rachel Tievy are students in a humanities magnet program focused on the fine arts. The work began with a styrofoam head, which the team stuck a fork through into a cylinder of clay.
The intricate details, the large scale, and the frequency of pieces breaking and falling off made it the most difficult, stressful, and ambitious art project the group had ever done. But they had promised to make the project as accurate as possible, and intended to do so. Taylor Holgate had long wanted to submit to the Peeps diorama contest, but each year found out about it too late to complete a diorama.
When the university admissions scandal story broke in mid-March, Holgate knew she had time before the deadline and had a great idea to depict. There are even some dejected-looking Peeps holding rejection letters. Poolesville High School art history students Ashlynn Stearns, Lizzie Phelps, and Olivia Burdick represented not one, but three different pieces of art in their diorama. Stearns, Phelps, and Burdick spent more than hours on the diorama over the course of 10 days.
