3D Workshop - Card

In the 3D workshop this week I made a building using different shapes cut out of card and then put it together to get a building.This time i used a really thick card to make a model, i started by cutting a triangle out of the card and then cut another shape which the side would match up the the triangle and then i caried on cutting ore shapes and putting them together, on some of them i didnt apply as much pressure when cutting it so that it would be still be attached but it would still bend sort of like a hinge. I found it easier working with the card as it was stronger than the paper and would stay in place batter.
When cutting I used a safety ruler to avoid cutting myself in case i slipped  while cutting.



3D Workshop-Paper

In this weeks workshop we started making 3D paper structures, we were given three sheets or normal paper which had some instructions on and some rectangles which had lines within it which we had to cut on some of the lines.We were given a craft knife to cut the lines out and we also had a safety ruler. For these paper sculptures we had to use a mountain fold where we had to fold the paper upwards, and a valley fold where we had to fold inwards. 
The safety rulers were there to help prevent us cutting ourselves in case we slipped with the knife, we we also given mats so that when we were cutting we wouldn't cut into the table.
