Paper Light Ideas
I really like this paper structure as it was easy to make as all it took was to make slits and fold in in an
interesting pattern. I thought this looked very similar to one of my research lights. I like the form and shape
of the light as it looks like it could wrap around the like really well.
I then decided to use the same technique, but to do another model in a horizontal version. I like the way it
turned out however I think if there was more than one and if there was different sizes and they were
hanging like a pendant light it would be better. I think the slits are very useful and also allow the paper to
be twisted in interesting shapes.
I made this using two paper airplanes
joined together to form a pointed
structure. This structure looks
interesting from a variety of views and
may also be better if there was a few of
them suspended like icicles. I like the
shape however I think it could be
improved by using more planes
together to make it more complicated. I
decided to show it with a light through
it. It makes it look more interesting and
with different sizes and colours it could
make a unique hanging structure.
Paper Light Ideas
This is a cone/torch light. It uses shredded edges
of a paper, wrapped in a cone shape with a cut
bottom. I really like this as the light highlights it
making it look pleated. I however would like to try
to do this with a pleated version. I think exploring
cone shapes would be a good idea. Also I think this
could make standing light if it was done bigger.
This is a picture from the side.
I don’t think it looks that
interesting, if it had more
layers to the cone and had
more detail it would look
better, however the light can
easily shine through the one
layer of paper which does give
it a nice glow.
Above is a picture of a few piece of scrunched up paper , paper
clipped together and flattened out to form arms and legs, an
additional scrunched paper was added as a head. The image above
is the paper ‘man’ hunched over. I think it makes an interesting
structure as the scrunched paper gives it thickness and texture.
On the left is a side view of the
paper man sitting up. I wanted
him to hold the light, and to
be a friendly structure. On the
right is what he looks like with
the light. I really liked the way
this turned out as it looked
tatty and worn out but still
looked like a person. I could
rearrange the person making
him hold the light in various
ways to give variety.
Paper Light Ideas
Above is the image of another paper man however I made it small and
used twisted arms and legs and a different way of scrunching.
I don’t like the way this
smaller man turned out
as he did not look as good
and the arms was to
stubby to hold the light. I
don’t think twisting the
paper was a good idea. A
way to improve this
would be to have a lot of
the little people linked
together. It was hard to
replicate the bigger man
and I don’t think I
improved upon it.
On my research page I looked at the iron man arc reactor which
reminded me of the interesting shape the light was. I then thought that
if this was added with a body part it would for an interesting structure.
I wrapped my hand in paper and tape, however this would of worked
better if I used masking tape and newspaper. I also would have liked if
the light went further into the hand. I really like the way the light and
the hand is combined and I think with more hands linked in various
positions a variety of interesting wall or ceiling lights could be made,
also by adding recycled electrical components or coloured lights a
steam punk or sci fi variation could be made.
Paper Light Ideas
In my research I looked at natural
looking light. I wanted to try
something similar so I wanted to do
an apple/ orange shape but made
the way a Terrys chocolate orange
was. I like the way it turned out
however it wasn’t done too neatly
and could have been made better. I
noticed some of the sizes were
different and some edges were torn.
I think the repetition of the semi
circles to form a shape was a good
idea and could be done in a variety of
ways; this is something I would like
to explore in more depth. However I
think it looks better from a side view
and my model making skills let it
down.
I tried to crumple the shape and make two of the model. The crumpled/
pleated model would be better if I had done it neater. The image on the
left looks better. I don’t think using paper clips was a good idea, as it
doesn’t allow you to join the paper that neatly and blocks you from adding
in certain areas.
I also don’t think crumpling/ pleating was a good idea, I should have made
it bigger and maybe cut interesting patterns like a snow flake. I think
adding lots of these in an interesting chain could be wrapped around the
light that may make it more aesthetically pleasing.
