I do this a lot so no new insights came to me. The strongest connection is the triangle. Can and should be used for anything.

PROTYPING

Cardboard 101

Prompt:

In this workshop, you will focus on mastering various cardboard manipulation techniques demonstrated in the presentation. Instead of creating a prototype, your goal is to recreate 3-5 techniques learned during the session.

Duration: ~1-2 hrs

Materials:

  • Various types of cardboard (corrugated, chipboard, etc.)
  • Scissors
  • Utility knife
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Cutting mat
  • Tape
  • Skewers

Instructions:

1. Introduction to Cardboard Techniques:

  • Review the presentation on cardboard manipulation techniques, paying close attention to the demonstrations and explanations of each method.

2. Technique Replication:

  • Select 3-5 techniques from the presentation that you would like to recreate.
  • Gather the necessary materials listed above.
  • Using the provided cardboard and tools, attempt to replicate each chosen technique following the instructions provided in the presentation.
  • Take your time to ensure accuracy and precision in your execution of each technique.

3. Experimentation and Refinement:

  • As you work on replicating the techniques, feel free to experiment with variations or combinations to enhance your understanding.
  • Seek guidance from the instructor or classmates if you encounter challenges or need clarification on any aspect of the techniques.

4. Documentation:

  • Document your progress by taking clear photos or videos of each technique you successfully recreate.
  • Write brief descriptions or notes alongside each documentation to explain the process and any insights gained during the replication.

5. Presentation and Reflection:

  • Prepare a brief presentation to showcase the techniques you have recreated.
  • Share your documentation with the class, explaining the steps involved in each technique and any observations or lessons learned during the process.
  • Reflect on the experience of replicating the techniques and discuss how you can apply them in future projects or creative endeavors.

Deliverables:
