Week 2A

Project 1 - Paper Folding Techniques

This is my finished paper folding technique project. My goal was to make it look like a bouquet of flowers. For this project, we had to use 5-7 pieces of paper. I used exactly 7. My inspiration during this project was Paul Jackson. 

"Paul Jackson is the author of over 30 books on paper arts and crafts and three on pop-ups. He has taught the techniques of folding on more than 150 university-level design courses in the UK, Germany, Belgium, the US, Canada and Israel and been a 'folding consultant' for companies such as Nike and Siemens."

Week 1

Tuesday, January 24th, 2017

In class, we were partnered up and told to make the tallest tower out of newspaper. My partner and I placed third - 112 inches.

We were introduced to 3D paper folding. For our first project, we need to create 7-8 3D paper folding pieces.

I didn't think it would take that long, and that it would be easy. I was very wrong.
