In yesterday's art class with Deborah and jess,  we started off doing a card folding activity, which was meant to help us within our project; using a craft knife and scissors. We had to follow the directions given on the 10 pieces of paper, which started out quite easy and got more difficult the more we did.  I found this activity quite hard, as I couldn't get the hang of it. I didn't know which way to fold the paper, or if I was even folding the correct t piece, so jess said that I could move into my card sculpture that I had started last Thursday. All my components had already been cut out, so I began painting each component to show how I wanted my final piece to look like. I had cut out 8 pillars so that I cut put two together to try and make it look 3d, however when I began to construct my model, I'd lost one of the pillars so I couldn't create it how Id hoped. Due to this, I had to compromise and just use 4 of the pillars. I created 4 folding stands, so that the pillars would stand in place and  began to glue the other components onto the pillars. I also realised that because I'd drawn the archways that were drawn smaller in my sketch book to show the distance, I'd cut them out smaller too so the smaller arches didn't reach the pillars. This is something I will have to remember when I start created the components for my final piece.
