Paper 3D Forms Practice

Description:
     Learning to make 3D forms out of a flat material (paper) and tape/glue.

Objective(s):

• Thinking about 3D construction methods.
• What is the best way to attach paper?
• What are the flat shapes that can become 3D forms?

Instructions:

1. Read the Final Project Assignment: (insert link here)
2. Watch these videos:
   • Making 3D Forms Out of Paper #1
   • Making 3D Forms Out of Paper #2
3. Consider these questions:
   • What are the best ways to connect paper?
   • What are the best ways to create 3D forms out of a flat material?
4. Shapes (2D) to Forms (3D)
   • Square = Cube
   • Rectangle = Rectangular Prism
   • Triangle = Triangular Prism or Pyramid (square base) or Tetrahedron
   • Circle = Cylinder or Cone or Sphere
5. Using construction paper and tape/glue, create three 3D forms:
   • Cube or Rectangular Prism
   • Cylinder
   • Triangular Prism (roof top) or Pyramid
   • 
   • Look at these templates.
     • Cube Template
     • Triangular Prism Template
     • Cylinder Template (Instructions for Cylinder)
   • Draw the layout on paper.
   • Make sure to include the tabs.
   • Cut out the layout.
   • Fold and crease on the fold lines (including the tabs).
   • Start taping (or gluing) the tabs in place.
   • Glue the final tab in place (this one can be difficult).
