5. The Second Skin.
Our Clothes.
Hundertwasser did not like how people all dressed the
same . How fashion dictated what people wore and felt
that each person should dress with an individual style.
Use your imagination. Put out of your mind todays fashion trends
and design a new
wardrobe for yourself.
Think about colours shapes and patterns that you like. Will you mix
and match, bright or subdued.
To improve my work today I
could?

6. The Third skin.
Your Home
Hundertwasser considered the third skin to be our homes. The
outer covering of our private living space.
He hated the straight lines and conformity of buildings and
thought that the outside of our houses should represent the
people living inside them.
Cure this sick block of flats.
Look at the shapes patterns and colours of Hundertwassers
buildings. Can you show nature in the building too? Draw and
colour on top of the building.

7. Window
Right
People cannot all afford to build their own
houses to their own specification. Or change
a block of flats. Hundertwasser thought it was
important though to show that unique people
lived behind every window of a property, and
demanded that everyone should have the
right to design the area around their window
themselves.
Design your own window. Paint it, grow
flowers, put a frame around it , mosaic
it, put chains on it, give it a hat and so
on…..
