06.) Papercraft Objects: First Phase Prototypes

Post date: Oct 18, 2017 2:21:25 PM

Assignment Description:

We will be using paper as a sculptural medium to re-create significant objects from our lives. For example, this could be a prized possession, an object that somehow represents you, an object or form that has impacted/inspired you, or even an object from your childhood.

Create a paper (cardstock, actually) prototype of your model. Use your unfolded template as a cut/fold template to create your virtual object in the real world, via papercraft!

Assignment Requirements:

1.) Create a printable template of your unfolded object (use 'make2d' in top-view to get rid of unnecessary polylines).

2.) Add details! Remember that it is likely you'll want to divide your object into multiple components.

3.) Print your templates on cardstock.

4.) Score, cut, and fold your template into it's 3D form.

5.) Create a new post on your process blog, and document this assignment (intro, photos, reflection, etc)

6.) Bring your obect with you to next class! (If you need to, put it in a box so it doesn't get squished!!)

Complete this assignment by the beginning of next class.
