Drawing Inspiration

This week we spent some time looking at the other classes ideas. I was inspired by the hand-made, imperfect quality of some of the designs and ways the paper was manipulated. The most significant idea I took away from this experience was to tear the bristol paper in half to create a more transparent look and a softer feel. 

In addition, I watched a video on netflix about the art of origami that gave me some ideas. These origami artists use paper to construct intricate sculptures and often dampen the paper to make it more bendable.  

I decided to go with the organic, floral look of the lamp and began to experiment with ways to tear the bristol paper and form the lamp into a larger piece.
