Guided Course: 3D Paper Sculpture for editorial cover

Guided Course: Illustrate a three-dimensional scene on paper

“Now it's your turn to put everything you've learned into practice. This project is designed to help you apply the course knowledge in a creative and personal way. If you don't know where to start, don't worry: we'll give you some ideas to get your creative juices flowing. The important thing is to explore, experiment, and enjoy the process as you develop your own proposal. 1. Botanical scene on paper: plant life in three dimensions Create a three-dimensional composition inspired by the plant world. Explore shapes, textures, and colors of leaves, flowers, and stems to bring a naturalistic or fantastical scene to life. Combine background elements and lettering to frame your sculpture like an editorial cover. Project example: A tropical jungle scene with lush plants emerging from the paper and typography integrated between the branches. 2. The corner of a miniature home Recreate a small domestic scene using paper: a room, a bookshelf, a cozy kitchen, or a reading nook. Work with perspective and layers to add depth, and use folding and layering techniques to enrich your sculpture. Project example: A living room with a plant, a paper lantern, and a cat sleeping on an armchair, all in miniature. 3. Paper sculpture: tribute to your favorite animal Choose an animal that inspires you and create a detailed version on paper, applying what you've learned to give it realism and personality. You can add a background that represents its habitat or a message that reflects its symbolism. Project example: A paper fox in an alert position, against a snowy forest landscape with a prominent word: “intuition.” 4. Editorial cover for a children's story Design a three-dimensional cover for an imaginary children's book. Let your creativity run wild by combining characters, settings, and hand-drawn lettering. Focus on visual impact and telling a story through shapes and colors. Project example: A cover for a story about a flying whale, with clouds and stars floating around the main character. 5. Three-dimensional portrait: one face, one story Explore portraiture from volume. Create a human, animal, or fantasy face by combining layers of paper to form features, hair, and accessories. You can add a narrative background and lettering to reinforce the character's personality. Project example: A paper portrait of a woman with braids, flowers and butterflies surrounding her, accompanied by the word “resilience.” Ready to get started? Choose the idea that resonates most with you or use it as a starting point to imagine something completely unique. Let your hands and creativity guide the process. Dare to build a story with paper that only you can tell. Share your results with the community and be inspired by others!”
