For this blog post I will be talking about the paper lanterns we made. So far I think this has been my favorite project. To begin this piece we sketched our idea for our lantern. It had to be based on a season, but other than that we were pretty much free to design it however we wanted. After finishing your draft you then copy it onto the better quality paper. Next, you take an Exacto knife and cut the paper where you want the light to come through. I tried to make my designs similar, but different at the same time. On each side I incorporated a tree, five ducks, and the sun. I choose to do one side fall and the other side spring. Here is my final product... (It's double sided!)
I really enjoyed doing this piece. It has been my favorite project we have done so far. I think one of the reasons I like it is because no matter what your design is it will look beautiful. Also in my piece I really like how on the fall side of my lantern, the light is focused on the setting sun. It was a very nice surprise when I finally lit the candle. I am very excited that I finished. I hope that my classmates are just as happy with their piece as I am with mine.
