What's Your Square?

Week 4 - Week 8

Our next assignment is paper cutting again. But this time around is slightly different, rather than throwing away the leftover we did before, this time we need every piece of the leftover to create an artwork. For this assignment, like usual we need to do symmetrical and asymmetrical cut-out. This time we have a limit, using a square of 4.5 inch. We were told to decide a theme for the cut-out and present the idea to her after an hour or so. Ms. Lisa told us to show her at least 3 ideas with sketch and everything. 

some of my sketches I did

"What's your square?"

"My square is hungry"

After presenting my ideas to Ms. Lisa, she picked my Noodles theme in the end, because it seems fun and different from I usually do. 

Because its a cut out, I need to do the noodles line thicker so it'll be easier to cut later on.

 I keep the leftover of the cutout organize, so that it'll be easier for me to know which part at which.

The hardest part of this assignment was re-arranging the leftover because I can't decide which to which. 

Ms. Lisa said that she like how I managed to arranged the paper like that. However, she said that both of my cut-out was symmetrical. I didn't even realise that. Despite that, she told me that my cut-outs looks yummy. 

I never liked doing paper cutting because I’m a little bit scared of sharp things. However, I still can manage doing it. Doing something you loves make the assignment even more enjoyable and for a noodles lovers like me, it was fun. Cutting the noodles lines is a bit hard and sticking the leftovers is torture, but it all worth it in the end. During the presentation day with the batik assignment, I actually lost one single piece of my cut out after seeing my cut out looked a bit odd. I search for my lost piece together with my friend and when I couldn’t find it, I began to panic. I even told Ms. Lisa beforehand. After a few min, I saw something tiny yellow on the ground and I pick it up. And then, I realise that I found my missing piece! I was so happy, even though it has gotten dirty, I don’t care. I quickly glue it back on and I was finally able to relax.
