3D Project Blog Post

For the 3D sculpture project I chose to create little cube-homelike structures. I got inspiration from the homes in Guanajuato, Mexico.

I furthered my research on Pinterest. Pinterest taught me a variety of techniques when creating cardboard structures. I began by stripping the cardboard of the top layer of “paper” it was covered with. I did this to reveal the textured part of the cardboard because one thing about me is that I love textured artwork. I then cut the 4 sides of the cubes/ “walls”. Two “walls” were a little longer in length allowing me to crease and fold them some so I could then glue the other wall allowing me to connect the walls to create the cube. I then went in and glued the roof to the four walls which completed the cube figure. Once I had the cube completed, I went in and drew rectangles and squares and cut them out with an exact knife to reveal a window in the now “homes”. Once I had a good amount of them, I began stacking them to play around with dimensions and to see how I wanted them to lay out. I used E600 glue as well as Tacky glue to allow for a sturdy finish.
