FALL 2023: Decorative Paper Drawer: Video Tutorial
*You will use sharpie to decorate the box sleeve AND make a paper cut-out with your name to glue on the top.
Materials:
- 2 square pieces of paper (inside is 1/2 smaller)
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Sharpies for decoration (or Pencils, Crayons, Pens or Stamps for decorating your box) - go for high contrast and good craftsmanship
- Make a practice box using scratch paper and following the demonstration and video tutorial ( 5 points).
- Repeat the steps you learned to create a decorative final box useful for storing your ring, sand paper, and small metal pieces.
- Decorate the colored layer using sharpie- Create an all over pattern design that demonstrates your understanding or Organic or Geometric AND Symmetry (radial or rotational)
- GLUE DOWN ALL THE FLAPS CAREFULLY WITHOUT VISIBLE GLUE (OR FLAPS THAT POP UP)
- Your pattern should be unique and decorative and demonstrate a type of Balance (has equal spacing) and Rhythm (repeats in a planned way) generally looks carefully made
- Following the paper cut-out planning sheet create a paper cut out with your name or 3 initials that is (readable, connected to a positive border 1/4in, and has no visible pencil marks or tears).
- Radiating Pattern - starts from a central point and goes out evenly in all directions (note the central point does not have to be in the center of the box surface.
- Rotational Pattern - starts fro a central pattern and spirals out from the center getting increasingly large as it rotates
- Symmetrical Pattern - pattern flips or reverses over a central axis (top to bottom or left to right).
- Asymmetrical Pattern- a pattern that doesn't conform to a central axis, there is a consistency and connection between the shapes and lines but it is not predictable.
- Irregular Pattern - incorporates a lot of variation is scale and spacing (not mathematically precise) but still looks good.
- Geometric Pattern- Repeating shapes that have straight lines and angles - mathematical and precise.
- Organic Pattern - Repeating shapes that have curving, irregular sides- like shapes found in nature
