This week, instead of a sketch, I want you to create a paper sculpture of your own. On Tuesday, bring in your completed sculpture and be prepared to explain how you developed the idea for your sculpture.
Here are some guidelines:
- You can look at the link below for ideas. Some of these we have looked at before and some are new.
- Your sculpture has to be original! You may not copy or reproduce something someone has already made. For example, you may not bring in an origami paper crane and call it your sculpture. However, you can use a paper crane as part of larger sculpture that is unique.
- Your sculpture does not have to look like something from real life. For example, you do not have to make it look like a dog but you can if you want to.
- You can use any of the techniques we have discussed (paper cutting, folding, origami, etc), you can combine the techniques, or you can come up with something new.
- You may use tape or glue if you need to.
- You may use colored paper if you need to.
- You have three days (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) to work on these! I want GREAT sculptures because you have the time to complete them.
Here are some website links you can use for ideas:
A collection of sculptures created by masters of paper sculpture
Cut paper sculptures by Lisa Rodden
Collection of instructions of folding origami
How to make a moveable Chinese Dragon sculpture (I DO NOT want any Chinese Dragon sculptures but you can use some of these ideas in your sculpture)
Paper city
Paper portrait
Rolled magazine sculpture
