Meaning of Paper Folding Techniques
Paper folding techniques means shaping or building prototype of different geometric or basic shapes and sizes to form cuboids, pyramids, abstract, sculptural figures etc.
Materials and Tools for Paper Folding
The basic materials for paper folding include:
- Chipboard
- Cardboard
- Strawboard
- Embossed card
- Drawing sheet
- Brown paper
- Adhesive (glue or gum)
- Pencil
The basic tools include the following
- Instruments for cutting (razor blade, cutter, scissors) others are
- Ruler or compass
- Measuring tape
EVALUATION
- Define paper folding technique.
- Mention five materials that can used in paper craft technique.
The Process of Paper Folding
The type of model to be constructed determines the method and materials to be used, this is because the method for constructing a building model (prototype) is different from the one for constructing pyramid or cuboid.
Folding a Cuboid
Cuboids are solid objects with six rectangular sides that stand at right angle to one another. This can be got by assembling two cubes side by side. (a cube is a solid with six equal sides and all its angles are at right angle)
Steps to Folding a Cuboid
Step 1: Sketch the object you desire on a piece of cardboard as shown below. Make sure all the six squares are equal. (it will be good to create flaps on the sides of section 1 of the squares to help for easy pasting of the adhesive)
Step 2: Cut out the drawing
Step 3: Fold the cardboard along the dotted lines to form a square shape
Step 4; Open the square cardboard to form a cube
Step 5: Now use adhesive (glue, gum) to join the wings together. (You can easily apply the adhesive on the flaps)
Step 6: Produce as many cuboids as possible like six or eight and gum them together in a creative manner as you desire.
A Cuboid
Uses of Paper Folding Techniques
- It develops the students’ accuracy.
- It develops sense of harmony in the student.
- It helps in the basic training of anything construction.
- It is used for structural composition
- It is used for the production of learning materials such as three-dimensional objects/design.
- It develops a sense of creativity in students
Safety Measures in Paper Folding
- Avoid the use of razor blades, use scissors or cutter.
- Measure accurately to prevent waste of materials.
EVALUATION
- Mention five uses of paper folding techniques
- What are the safety measures in paper folding technique
Presentation
The topic is presented step by step
Step 1:
The class teacher revises the previous topics
Step 2.
He introduces the new topic
Step 3:
The class teacher allows the pupils to give their own examples and he corrects them when the needs arise
Conclusion
The class teacher wraps up or concludes the lesson by giving out a short note to summarize the topic that he or she has just taught.
The class teacher also goes round to make sure that the notes are well copied or well written by the pupils.
He or she does the necessary corrections when and where the needs arise.
