2D to 3D

By knicy | January 25, 2009

When I went online and checked out Peter Callesen’s paper cut art, I was amazed.  I thought that it looked like something I could figure out….boy was I mistaken.  This turned out to be a challenge for me.  It took me some time to wrap my brain around it.  My first few atttempts looked sloppy, and then it began to come together. Here is a picture of my first attempt.

My first successful attempt was a complete accident.  I got frustrated and poof…there was a really cool 2D and 3D piece.

So in the end I actually enjoyed the paper cut assignment.  i still find it frustrating when it takes a few tries to get it right.  Usually working it out in my head before means fewer wasted sheets of paper…but that is also part of the learning process.
I loved the second half of the assignment.  I thought this part was so much easier than the first.  I am sure that is because I didn’t have to think about a foot print or leaving part of the object attached.  I decided immediately that I would make a cardboard lamp.  In the end it pretty much turned out the way I pictured it.
