5 Face, Edge & Face Treatment

For this project we were able to choose a sold, but we had to change the faces and edges. It had to be made from bristle paper, and had to be solid white on the outside, but the inside could be decorated to our liking. I choose to do a "sailor style", with cut out waves on the outside, and a giant squid on the inside attacking a ship. The inside is painted in acrylic with waves draw in fabric paint marker. I used a fabric paint marker because for some reason my sharpie was not cooperating with the paint. The drawing is made of sketch paper, and traced in sharpie.

Kaleidocycles

A Kaleidocycle is a ring of an even number of tetrahedrons [4-sided triangular pyramids], which flex or bend to show different sides of the pyramids and depending on the illustration, different decorations. These were construted out of bristol paper. One is coated in acrylic paint with fall themed colors, and the other is decorated with different shapes and colors, drawn with sharpie marker.

Archimedean Solids

Archimedean solids are semi-regular polyhedral structures. They’re created out of regular polygons, but include more than one. This one is made of bristol paper and is decorated with shapes and lines made of black sharpie marker, that coincide with the shapes.

Platonic Solids

Platonic Solids are polyhedra's made from regular polygons. For this assignment we were instructed to create a variety of platonic solids out of bristol paper.
