I decided to explore and experiment in further detail the
"suspension" technique through completing another 3D paper cut scene.
I continued to use images from my primary research to achieve this technique
and I also decided to make the piece small scale to see if it would work
effectively. Previously, I worked with A3 size to complete my paper cut 3D
suspension piece. The outcome was very effective and created a 3D scene that
looked different through a variety of perspectives. I have decided to work to
the size A4 to experiment if the size of paper is more effective at different
scales and also to develop my knowledge of using this suspension technique
further. I continued to use this technique as I found the piece more effective
and presents the intricate paper cutting details from a variety of angles and
perspectives. Also, I continued to use this technique as I have explored a
variety of methods to present my work previously and I believe this element is
the most effective as the layout presents all the paper cuttings and scenes
more effectively which combine together to create a detailed outcome. This
technique was developed further compared to the other designs because they
didn't present the paper cutting pieces effectively as they were damaged easily
and displayed through a table. The advantage of creating a shelf is that my
paper cutting pieces are safely displayed and suspended so that they will not
be damaged when they are put on display. However a problem I faced when placing
work on display through this technique is that I found it difficult to attach
the pieces together and I believe the material I used wasn't effective as it
can be seen when displayed. I will continue to develop and experiment with
materials to find out which is the most effective to be displayed and attach
the pieces safely together. By continuing to experiment with this technique, it
has allowed me to demonstrate the ability to plan, organise and develop how I
am going to present my work for my final project.
To create my paper-cutting piece, I printed an image from my
visit to the Lake District which was a wetland environment scene. I decided to
use this image as I could identify a variety of layers which I thought it could
be developed and created into a 3D scene. Also I decided to use this image as I
believe I will be inspired by the research to create my own initial designs for
my final piece. Next, I photocopied the image twice to create 3 layers and
transferred them onto card. Previously I found placing the images onto card not
effective as it caused the layout to break easily when the design is being cut
out. This has been demonstrated again through this experimentation which caused
the layout to be less effective overall. To improve next time, I will continue to
develop my ideas further and explore an alternative paper-cutting technique which
will create an effective outcome within the suspension technique. After cutting
the layout out, I placed the elements together and measured out where I needed
to create spaces to place my material to suspend. I continued to use string for
my suspension technique as it a strong material which can hold the weight of
paper safely. However, a problem I faced with the string was that it could be
seen when the outcome was placed on the shelf which made it less effective to
the piece. To improve next time, I will continue to explore materials in further
detail and find a suitable transparent material to hold my work safely.
Overall, I was pleased with my outcome as it created a 3D
paper-cut scene and continued to look different from a variety of angles and
perspectives. However, I believe that working with a bigger paper scale is more
effective as it presents the intricate pieces within my work in more detail
compared to the A4 size. I will develop the information and research I have
collected from this experiment further into my project.
