Final Model

Study Model One -- This idea really stemmed from the idea of looking at the way shadows blended together and how they affected the Bristol.

Initial problems with this model were the way the pieces sat on the paper and how they were made as well as keeping the pieces uniform and even.

By gluing the top flaps together onto each piece, it was easy for the pieces to appear sloppy from certain angles. In addition, ensuring the tops were flat and uniform was difficult, and justified finding a new technique of composing these pieces.

Study Model Two-- With this model I wanted to find a better relationship between the raised pieces and the base of the model, while still studying the effects shadows have on the paper.

The shadows showed up very well in this model and created a very contrasting effect on the model and the base.

I learned a few things from this specific model about working with Bristol. It is a lot more difficult than I initially thought.

Final Model-- With this model, I was planning on recreating the second study model, but doing so without using glue to fix the pieces together as I did in the first and second. Along the ridges, she shadows were very prominent and created an interesting effect.

However, the way that the paper was folded and the way that the pieces were aligned took away some of the effect that the second study model had.

**From all of this, I ultimately learned I definitely should play around with more study models in the future in order to explore my options for each project in a more thorough way.
