Paper Strip 3D Models

The 2nd exercise in class was to impose the characteristics of the words we used on the 1st exercise onto individual strips. Each strip should embody a word by using mark making, texturising, cutting, scoring, folding, etc. However, each strip must remain intact, no matter how you mess with it.

 Here's my strips.

Then, make a series of 3D models from these strips of paper. Using single strips or combine them to create your abstract models. 

You could use tooth picks to help hold your models if you wish.

 

A glimpse of what I made in class. 

 And here's the close-ups.

Cut-up Poetry Beasts

So here's what we did in our first class in Small Object Ideation.

The idea was to list 10 descriptive words, write them down in strips, toss everyone's description into a bucket and randomly pick 5 words from it.

Then, from the descriptions, draw your mythological beast. Make sure all the words are represented. Plus, using different drawing mediums to assist in conveying your beasts' characteristics.

My descriptions were... Sharp, Patchy, Rigid, Powdery and Scary.

So this is what I drew in class... My beast doesn't have facial features, they are rigid forms that somehow linked together, patched together, move together, leaving behind powdery dust as their forms scraped one another. (It'd be easy to trail if it's not too windy...lol ) The red spikes at the tip sort of gives warning, not to evoke its temper, and so does the misty trail it leaves behind, brings out the ghostly atmosphere surrounding it. I also feel as though it's rigid forms seem hollow, lack warmth, gives off coldness, detachment, alien even.

So... What do you think? Did I meet those descriptions? Was I successful in portraying them in my drawing? 

Would most appreciate your feedback... ^^
