We are starting a lesson where my students are being asked to design a paper lantern that is inspired by a season. I am having them approach it like a design challenge! Ya gotta love a good challenge!
In addition to their imagery (that will be cut from paper), the students must also design the lantern's structure - size, shape and style. I want my students to consider design ideas for opacity, light flow, layers and sculptural properties.
As part of their research for design inspiration and possibilities, I am directing them to check out these artists who work with cut paper.
Prepare to be amazed.
