Paper Engineering and Pop-ups For Dummies
Chapter One
Unfolding the Mystery of Paper Engineering
In This Chapter
* Looking at pop-ups and pull tabs
* Going artistic with paper sculpture
* Creating paper animations
Whoever came up with the idea of construction paper had the right idea: Paper makes a great building material - you can easily fold, bend, tear, and cut it, and sticking the parts together requires nothing more than a bit of glue. In elementary school, you may have been a bit haphazard about putting stuff together. Now that you're (somewhat) grown up, you don't have to be any less creative, but you can do a lot more with paper when you play engineer and plan ahead.
Paper engineering basically means cutting and creating shapes with paper or card. With paper engineering, you can make pop-up and moving cards, and you can create elegant and sophisticated sculptures using interesting 3D shapes. You can even make fully working machines that use only paper for their mechanisms.
This chapter gives you an overview of the main types of paper engineering that I focus on in this book. You discover how pop-ups and pull tabs are made and how they work. I take a look at paper sculpture, a way of using the paper itself as the art medium rather than just using it as the place where the art is drawn. I also introduce you to paper animations, or automata, which are a kind of humorous machine that shows a short animated scene made entirely out of paper. (Note: If you get the basics down and want to try your hand at design, I can help you out there, too - simply check out Part IV of this book.)
