Paper modelling workshop (WEEK 3)

I began by cutting out multiples of one shape relating to initial primary/ secondary research, in various sizes out of brown paper, which were in turn placed on and around a dressmakers dummy/ mannequin to form a suggestion of a part of a garment. After a minute of this I had to document what I had produced by photographing the outcome. As a group we had to rotate one place to the left, using their cut out shapes manipulate a form from those; photograph the final outcome move back to my mannequin and take a picture of the outcome a colleague had come up with using the shapes I had cut out; this method of working was continued until all the mannequins had been manipulated by someone other than the person who had cut out the shapes. I think the idea/ method of other group members interpreting a form using your shapes was beneficial as you were able to view various ways of creating a form that you possibly hadn't thought of initially which you could transfer/ apply their outcomes to your own design sketches as further development.
