Unit 2- Sheet Material Idea Description • Sheet materials can be quickly manipulated in order to form three dimensional objects. The aim of my project is to focus on the identity and independence of a single sheet material and the concept of visual illusion. The restrictions of my project are maintaining continuity of the surface and fixing using mechanical methods as far as is possible. I plan to achieve my objectives by using cutting and bending and in so doing exploiting a combination of geometry and procedural instructions.
