Coming up with my Final Design

I drew out several design idea's for my final paper sculpture however decided to use and try this one below. i drew out a 3d and a 2d possible design and decided to go wit the 3d one in the end.

This is a quick drawing of how i planned to  make it and how i wanted the final result to look like. 

Design Ideas

Here are some of my hand drawn design idea's done in my sketch book, these were my earlier designs and were mainly inspired from nature such as waves, trees and waves.

Primary Research

I walked around sheffield looking for idea's and came across several objects and sculptures that had an interesting texture that i could use in my designs.

Inspiration for Final Design

I decided to look at chains and links and this inspired me in my final design.

I looked at the way they are attached and the way they hang and sit together.

Experimenting with paper

I looked into sand and how nature leaves a pattern in it from either the wind or sea and thought the ripples could look effective.

These are my designs i created by scoring the paper and folding in ways inspired by the shapes in the sand.

Here i cut out circles and expermerimnted with different idea's to attach them together.

Final Piece

Here is my final design made from three different sizes of rings, i have stuck to a repetitive pattern to give the sense of symmetry 

Here shown below is the 3 different sizes of circles for my final piece, i used small slits in the big hoops to attatch the smaller ones together.

Jen Stark

Miami-based artist Jen Stark describes her quirky and captivatingly colorful creations. Having started off using coloured construction paper more out of economic necessity, she now minutely assembles up to a hundred layers of paper that she separately cuts by hand into complex, precisely arranged, vibrant 3-D objects.

I particularly like her use of bright colour in her work.

Experimenting

Here i continued experimenting with nature and leaves but decided for my final design i wouldnt be using taht as my inspiration anymore.

Here i worked with parallel  line and symmetry and the outcome was quite succsessful.

Here i experimented with some origami and made this butterfly 

Workshop 2

In this workshop i looked into creating paper sculptures from my inspiration which was nature.

here i was tryin to create a sculpture inspired by leaves and their shapes and texture.
