To get the picture, use a book or a magazine as a "wing". Open the book with a "dihedral" and look at it from the front (in the direction of the relative wind). Then turn the book slightly to simulate a sideslip angle. You will then see that the sideslip causes the "upwind" wing to get a higher AoA.
