DESCRIPTION
Find your way towards a dreamland in this session focused on paper-cutting and the art of paper layering combined with basic book-folding techniques. Using a variety of up-cycled papers and materials, we will create tunnel book vignettes that play with color, space, and the meditative qualities of carving out shapes. We will explore the basics of using Exact-o knives, composition, and tricks of perspective to create immersive worlds within a 5” x 7” space.
Whether you’re interested in creating a fantastical wonderland or an abstract collage of elements, we’ll look at examples of how artists use foundational art elements in a 2.5 dimensional space and play with what is seen or implied in “tunnel vision.” We will also touch on how these elements can be translated into larger formats or even within digital/animation contexts.
