In this week long course students will make Halloween pop-up books ! No prior knowledge needed, just creativity! Please see below supplies for this course. Students will cut, fold, and glue paper to create a standing Pop-up System (examples of fold will be provided in class) . This is a fun 3D project where students will experiment with a variety of paper and practice cutting and folding to create a pop-up card that "pops-up" when opened. We will focus on the "scoring" technique and on learning a few basic ways how to make these cards. I will demonstrate each of the techniques and students will follow. Are you ready for a week of fun? This is a special trick or treating event so make sure to bring your candy and dress up in your favourite Halloween costume! There will be things coming out of the book! GHOSTS, PUMPKINS, SKULLS, HOUSES, you name it! Class I- Pop-up Tree (students will get to decorate their trees with fall leaves and Halloween motifs, we will draw/cut out and add stickers even, so feel free to bring some) Class II- Pop-up Ghost (students will make a ghost face that pops up) Class III- Jack-o-Lantern (students will make a pop-up pumpkin (Halloween/skull) face) Class IV- The Haunted House (students will make a haunted house, they can add as much detail as they want) We will then put all our cards together into a book. This will be your final project ! I will be wearing something fun for Halloween so feel free to do the same :) I’ll have some sweets too!
Learning Goals
Students will experiment with a variety of paper of different sizes, colours and thickness and practice cutting and folding different shapes (organic and geometric). The result is to have fun and create a pop-up book by adding some drawings to complete the story. They can even decorate the cards the way they like with the materials they already have.
