Design & Creativity with Craft 25-29 May,09 Anchor Faculty N. N. Patel

Introduction Papercraft is a form of crafting in which paper is used to create three dimensional objects such as models or . When a designer speaks of he refers to Shapes made by cutting, scoring, rolling, folding and fastening paper. It is easy to learn, and is incredibly varied. It can be large or small, humble or ambitious. Some people refer to papercraft as pepakura, in homage to the large Japanese papercrafting commu nity. Unlike , papercraft involves cutting up paper or and gluing it back together, although some folding and bending may be involved. Simple papercraft does not require extensive math skills, but it can be used to illustrate basic math, or to get people excited about mathematics. Freehand papercraft is challenging, though enjoyable, and it requires a good eye for design. The tools for basic papercraft designs and patterns are simple and affordable. Paper sculptures can get quite elaborate, running the gamut from replicas of sculptures made from other materials like marble to models of things like trains, boats, and planes. Really dedicated crafters will sometimes devise papercraft objects with moving parts, which requires a very fine eye and a lot of patience. The structure of the three dimensional object may be supported with stiff paper, cardboard, or even wood, to ensure that it will not collapse, and it may be painted, dyed, or textured with applied materials as well.Another way of preserving and taking paper craft to the next level is by making animation films out of them. Caria and John B Kanny said, “We are concerned with making more lasting things out of paper”. On philosophical note, by paper craft, one learns how one can derive pleasure out of simple things in life. Also with the right attitude, how simple things can be made more beautiful, functional and meaningful.
