Paper+Cubes

In this final short project, you will focus on form and texture. You will make a cube that is 4.5" x 4.5" x 4.5" from Bristol board. Your goal is to create a visually compelling cube using a combination of perforation and texture.

Tips:
 * Don't just apply a different texture to each plane of the cube, instead, focus on 1 or 2 textures and let them cross the edges of the cube and draw the eye around the form.
 * Think about how you might make the inside of the cube visible by cutting through the walls with a pattern or a window. Does the inside of the form have a different texture than the outside?
 * Your cube can be implied! How much of the cube needs to physically be there to indicate a cube in the viewers mind?
 * Use a combination of scoring and tabs to build your form, do not just goop hot glue on to the edge of the Bristol board.

Strategies:
 * Contrast the natural properties of the cube. cubes are regular, symmetrical, and hard-edged, what if yours were slightly asymmetrical, irregular, and soft-edged, but still "read" as. a cube.
 * Emphasize the "cubeness" by emphasizing stability, rigidity with your choices of texture and perforation. What makes a cube feel solid? Heavy?
 * Imply a cube by using or arranging your material in an unexpected way. How might you make a cube where none of the planes of the paper are parralel to the implied planes of the cube? Can you imply a cube by using only irregular cut and torn pieces of Bristol?

Look at the texture examples here: http://atimidmulestudio.wikispaces.com/Paper%20Techniques

Use your own texture made from a combination of scraping, poking and cutting.

Your cube should contain the following:

Some examples:
 * at least 2 textures (other than the natural texture of the paper, and don't use the hot glue as a texture!)
 * Some sort of perforation or cutting through of the planes of the cube
 * It should imply a cube of 4.5' x 4.5" x 4.5", though it need not have all the planes and sides
 * Your cube should be created with craft and precision, Craftsmanship counts!
