| Summary | THIS IS A FOR-CREDIT COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED.
This course explores the structural potential of paper as a basic sheet material through the use of simple processes to create complex geometric structures as a creative practice.
Initial paper manipulation studies will identify an individual approach through exploration, repetition, and the use of scale and the choice of paper types to create a cohesive body of work. These in turn can be used as proposals for 3D design in the form of jewellery, textiles or ceramics or to create architectural or interior spaces for animation.
Emphasis is placed on heightening awareness and application of non-precious, transient materials within the design process.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, through attending classes and engaging in directed and independent study, students should be able to:
Research
Explore the manipulation of paper and surface to provide a basis to develop 3D form.
Practice
explore the effects of repetition, scale, material and construction methods on 3D form and structures
Present
Create a coherent body of art and design works which have exploited a range of paper construction and manipulation techniques.
