Bent Planes

The exercise explores how to create structure, form, negative space, and relationships out of a single surface. The goal is to create an engaging surface that has depth and three-dimensionality without adding or subtracting material, just bending it. Students start by cutting a sheet of cardboard and scoring and cutting to give the material the ability to bend. The final model is then complemented with a color scheme that accentuates or contrasts the bents.
