Quick Paper Sculpture

Obstacal Illusion

The Quick Paper sculpture was simple and straight to the point: creating a sculpture that you can make within a short amount of time. My sculpture was taking a sheet of paper, folding it in half, and cut from each part of the folded rims to create pop up squares.

Slow Paper Sculpture

Slow Paper Sculpture (Sketches and Ideas)

I came up with three ideas on how I was gonna approach the slow paper sculpture.

Slow Paper Sculpture (Base/Material

This is my birdhouse that would be made out of an entire cardboard box. And this is before the entire box was covered with paper.

"Beautiful Day To be a Bird" (Slow Paper Sculpture Finished)

My finished product on the Slow Paper Sculpture. Material included a large cardboard box, tons of paper, wooden rods, and tape.

Relief Sculpture

Relief Sculpture (Image Reference)

This is the image that I would be refrencing for my relief sculpture. It's from a book that shows mythical creatures.

Relief Sculpture - Grootslang

Grootslang was mostly made out of Paper Clay to create the five layers of depth.

Relief Sculpture Sketch and Planning

Here is a sketch featuring how I would make the relief sculpture showing the step by step process.

Points, Lines and Plane

Stairway To the Top Sketch

Here is the sketch for my serial plane sculpture. I was gonna cut out pieces of cardboard and create gaps to meet the serial plane expectations and hot glue the pieces together to make one big staircase.

Stairway Collapse

This is the final product. Some of the pieces didn't stabilize enough to make it a giant staircase, so instead the serial plane looks like the sculpture is collapsing from the top, which I thought was a nice touch.

Reductive Sculpture

Elephant Carving Sketch

Here is the soap carving sketch, where it shows the step by step process.

Paper Elephant

The elephant cut out from paper.

Elephant on Soap

Here is the elephant traced onto the soap bar.

Elephant Finished Product

Here is the finished reductive sculpture.

Reductive Sculpture/Paper Comparison

Here is a comparison between the sculpture and the paper outline.

Weight and Volume Sculpture (Soft Sculpture)

Burger Meal Sketch #1

Here is the sketch of the soft sculpture, which shows the toppings and condiments as a reference for how the sculpture was gonna look like.

Burger Meal Expected Finish

Here is the sketch of what the soft sculpture would look like once it's completed.

Burger Meal (In Progress)

Here is an in progress image of the Burger Meal. For the toppings, I was gonna use color fabric felts and cotton balls to make the stuffing.

Burger Meal (Completed)

Here is the Burger Meal in its finished form. The size is just about right, and there's a lot more interest all around.

Portfolio Builders

Bedroom (Relief Sculpture)

For my first Portfolio Builder, I was gonna do another relief sculpture, but this time with the other alternative, cardboard.

Bedroom

Here is the relief sculpture depciting a bedroom. You can see the bed on the left, a closet, some items on top, and a window.

Letter F (Reductive Sculpture)

My second portfolio builder is another reductive sculpture, carving the letter F.

Letter F (Angle #1)

Here is my reductive sculpture from one angle.

Letter F (Angle #2)

Here is the sculpture from the other angle at its center.

Sunny Side Up

This is another soft sculpture that I did, and I used color felt fabric to do this. And similar to the Burger Meal, I flipped the felt inside out while adding the stuffing in so that way it doesn't look flat.
