NEWFOUND SPECIES

Sofía Casero

We are going to work on shape, form and texture.

Your goal is to create a new animal out of a part.

You´ll be given two legs of the original animal and you´ll have to integrate them so that you can´t find any difference between the piece of paper you´ve been given and your own drawing.

You will use an HB pencil, fine liners and a black pen to get if you wish the same shades of grey that you can find on the original drawing.
(This brilliant idea belongs to Dácil Velázquez.)

SKETCHING

I´ll give you four small squares from the original print of Durer and you´ll try to imagine and draw four different animals with these features. You´ll glue these squares on a DIN A4 sheet of paper.

We´ll invest a whole hour to get the shape of the four animals and I´ll collect them all by the end of the class.

Christmas crafts II (Icosahedron)

In geometry an icosahedron is a polyhedron with 20 faces. 

Each  has 30 edges and 20 equilateral triangle faces with five meeting at each of its twelve vertices. 




Here you have a video  about how to make a scrapbooking ball like the one on the picture.
In class we are going to use english subtitles and no voice at all.

If you want to download a template just to print it out (four times to get 24 faces) here you´ve got the file.

You will need a compass, a pair of scissors, a ruler, a pencil, glue stick and, of course, paper (scrapbooking paper, craft paper or the one you prefer). If you want to hang it, you will also need fishing line or another kind of thread.

Christmas crafts (stars)

We can work with pentagons to make five pointed stars or with hexagons to get six pointed ones.

We´ll use hexagons because drawing them is by far  easier than drawing  pentagons.
Just in case you don´t have a compass you can follow the steps below.

If you want to get 3D stars here you´ll find the steps and the template to print it out.
