Week 5 : Papercuts models • Space is matter. You can have places with matter, and places without matter. I’ve made space in my life.

• I’ve played as children. The simplest way to make a place is Paper. • The concept of scale 1/100. “Nicolas Malebranche who says that: “Space is the place of bodies”.

My papercut characters in a space that I’ve made for them of paper. I’ve tried to use a good light. I like the idea to add a tree inside the space and visible to outside. Very simple with a beatiful paper that speaks about a natural stone. #alltherivers 12 Architecture 101 Part II: From Place to Space

Having to “build” my construction, it force me to find my own references. • To try to come up with meaning and convey it to others. • To get me excited.

My place, It’s very light and spacious. It’s a place where my friends are in home. It’s simple and refined #marbleisnot with iLands+Bazaart for IPad

PART III : My mental space

Here we are, in Part II of the course: space concept. I feel more confortable working with space.

My mental space starts to appear when I look inside myself. I’ve discovered many things about me. References that I like in art and design. Things that I love appear in my work.

We had hard worked: with abstraction (We started in #design1o1 to speak about abstraction, with blueblumer) is a challenge. We are learning to work with some app. We have a lot of tools.

We are working with the combination digital and analog, I love this way. We didn’t lost to work with manual tools. We have played with paper, so simple a child.

We worked the light and shadows shows: to learn to feel space.

To try to come up with meaning and convey it to others.

To make it clean and simple.

A great journey. I’m really satisfied with the road, I’m learning to see space and to not be afraid to make more and different: Brave and from inside.

Learning from good artists.
