week 2 grid paper cube

-
In this week's post is on a 2 x 2 grid paper cube. In of 3d design class we discuss the aspects of learning measurements and as a great example of using measurements to a object is creating an object with certain dimensions but as a challenge we are using grid paper as the material. This grid paper does not have thick material to it. its very thin.




Above this description is the 2x2 grid paper on a grid table
Craft : turning a 2d grid paper into 3d grid paper sculpture by hand,, exo knife, glue stick
 
Concept: the idea is to make a cube with the height and width of 2 inches with the grid paper material.
Composition: making this cube require measuring stick (ruler), as well as a glue stick, grid paper, exo-knife or scissors. pencil or pen. setting up the measurement of 2 inches in both height and width in the multiple square on the grid paper .. 4 squares down and 1 on the  each sides of the second square of the four down ones to have equivalents of a 6 sided 2x2 cube. This cube needed 1/8 of an inch tabs around the sides so when folding and constructing the cube you have tabs to glue and hold sides
the 2d outlined of the cube is laid out like a lower case t or cross in the middle of the grid paper to have room for tabs.. once you measure each side by 2 and arrange the squares as the  cross then added tabs.. from there you can use a exo-knife for clean and precise cuts or scissor just to be more safety cautious. once you have the outline of the cube cut out.. you should start folding up the sides to have the cube ready for gluing. glue the tabs with a light layer on the tabs and gently place the tabs to the sides to stick and hold..

Hi Welcome to my first blog post, I'm formerly known as ANFASLIM or Slim. But for now academically standpoint My name is Marcell Key. I'm Currently a Junior attending Saint Xavier University (SXU). I'm Studio Art Major, Which Means an artist who creates visual works of art in a studio space or surrounding. I've been attending this institute since the fall of 15' and this semester may be my last since I plan on transferring to grand valley state university for illustration and psychology. In the past semester I have created an 3D object was a 3d printed object of an alien deer. the deer was made from an idea i had from a digital series i did of this glow geometric deer in a glow forest .. I thought to myself this would be cool to create as a 3d object so i created using blender i believe.. I converted to stl file and sent it to the 3d printer and i scaled to a reasonable size. I can't remember the measurements exactly but it was pretty small but not too small...

In this week's post is on the three graphic design made on the trapezoidal prisms. Edit changes was made and as well as minor fixes on the design of the prism. overall this is the final version of it but instead of one .. three designs are part of the 3 versions of the trapezoidal prism being created each image above are the graphic designs made for the boxes are constructed  *apologies for the glare off the images   Craft: boxes are made by hand from sketching to illustration on illustrator using preinstalled tools and installed fonts. printed by Xerox printer, cut out by exo-knife and glued with Elmer's glue stick Concept: based on the last post but the final touches and edits with changing names to romel on the cig crayon box because it based on my middle name.. idk what's the significance of my middle name but I thought it would be cool to have a cig crayon box based on my middle name.. Romel's Cig crayon box ..haha humorous. The pi...
