Second Sweeny Session

in this workshop session we were told to attempt more prototype but try to increase the size of paper we use. this for me was a better session and i ended up with, in my eyes, better results than my first session. Richard Sweeny in this workshop helped by introducing some simple techniques that i was able to develop further when experimenting with the material for myself.

i first started by scoring a curved line down the paper so it creases neatly. it gives a smooth outcome that can easily be developed further.

from this i added more score lines. this when done close to another curved line creates a nice bridge across the paper. from this shape with the bridge i manipulated one of the curved lines which travelled through two sides of the paper and brought it back in on itself to create a tunnel which catches light in strange ways.

i was pleased at the outcome i had created and tried to develop this method further.

i tried to use the scoring technique to create a shape that repeated itself. the results were nice and the shape that was created on top from where the curves had removed elements of the original shape.

 also in the workshop i tried a different approach at repeat withe the idea of circle and spirals repeating over and over within themselves. once i had my head around how it would work it was relatively easy. i really like this shapes simplicity. from this i decided to keep my objects simple and try to create repetitive shapes that look good to the eye.(my eye)

i tried another spiral model which came out nicely, this was slightly more intricate than the last one but has the same effect.

 i went back to the not spiralling my paper and went for a mirrored effect. i really like the outcome of this peace and it was one of my favourites of the day. very simple, four score lines, two at each side folded and pinched together to created what some people have referred to as an ants head. the folds look really good mirrored to each other.

i took the mirroring idea and took it to the next step, remembering to keep it simple. i folded the paper like i did in the one before but this time the score lines travel through two sides of the square paper. i reflected this on the other side and i created this amazing looking shape.

this is a model i made outside of uni in my own time, i was just trying thing i could remember trying in the session. it was fun and looked quite good.
