Prompt
Create a 3D structure from a cut-out cardboard shape, explore the interplay between light and shadow, and observe how adding elements alters the shadow's form.
Materials Needed:
- A piece of cardboard (approx.A2)
- Pencil
- Scissors or craft knife
- Glue or tape
- Flashlight
- Ruler
- Paper for sketching
Steps:
- Sketch Your Shape (5minutes):
- Begin by sketching a simple shape (e.g., a star, heart, or geometric pattern) onto your piece of cardboard.
- Cut Out the Shape (5 minutes):
- Carefully cut out the shape from the cardboard, making sure to keep both the cut-out piece and the negative space (the hole left behind).
- First Light Projection (10 minutes):
- Place your cut out in front of a flashlight or lamp in a darkened room. Observe the shadow it casts on the wall or roll of paper.
- Build Around the Cut-Out (20 minutes):
- Use the cut-out piece and other cardboard scraps to build a 3D structure around the negative space. Be creative in how you attach and layer the pieces to create depth and form.
- Second Light Projection (10 minutes):
- Place your 3D structure in front of a flashlight or lamp in a darkened room. Observe the shadow it casts on the wall or a piece of paper. Compare the new shadow to the original one. Notice how the addition of the cut-out piece alters the shadow’s design.
- Document: Create a post in the responses tab with 2 of your photographs
Deliverables:
- A completed 3D structure.
- Photos of the shadows before and after adding the cut-out piece.
- A short reflection on how the addition of the cut-out piece influenced the shadow.
