Use paper as ground, medium, tool and fiber. This class is designed for artists in any media who want to explore paper’s wonderful and surprising possibilities. We'll use simple tools to transform basic sheets of paper into sculptural forms by cutting, folding, weaving and using a variety of 3-D paper constructions. We'll use the actions and notions of opening and closing, folding and unfolding, as well as expanding and collapsing as our conceptual guides to discover the structural components of paper. We'll also investigate surface treatments such as collage and perforation as well as reviewing archival techniques.
