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, plain or patterned?

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 ..
