The document provides instructions for a Year 8 project on developing pop-up card and drawing skills using cardboard. Students will learn how to create basic pop-up mechanisms using techniques like V-folds. They will make two pop-up cards and understand card engineering basics. The project aims to help students learn pop-up design through practical tasks focused on drawing and constructing pop-ups solely with cardboard.

1. Yr.8 Pop- up Project In this project we you be developing your drawing and making skills through a series of focused practical tasks. We are going to be working on card engineering and pop up mechanisms. We will be working solely in cardboard and you will discover the amazing things that can be created with this everyday material. You will be using your new drawing skills for your 3-D pop up designs.

2. Yr.8 Pop- up Project Learning objectives and outcomes…. In this lesson you will learn: How to create basic pop- up mechanisms. By the end of the lesson you will: Have made 2 pop up cards and understand basic card engineering.

3. Yr.8 Pop- up Project This is a very simple pop- up but can be used as a basis for more complex designs.

4. Yr.8 Pop- up Project Images and extra layers can be added. The castle on the wall is a good example of this. Now have a go yourself. Make it as simple or as complex as you want.

5. Yr.8 Pop- up Project Now we will look at the mechanism that is the basis of almost all pop ups: V-folds.

6. Yr.8 Pop- up Project Once you have marked out your angles you need to make your flaps. Make sure each one is the same length as the lines you’ve drawn. Use scissors to cut out the shape and a paper clip and ruler for the score lines. The Shark pop up on the wall is a good example of simple but effective a pop- up which uses V- folds. Now have a go yourself. Make it as simple or as complex as you want.

7. Yr.8 Pop- up Project Please get your planners out….. IEL task 1: Using the internet research into pop up books/ cards and products. Make notes and explain what is good bad about the each design. This should be presented on A4 paper In landscape format. (see example) If you do not have the internet at home please see me after the lesson to arrange a time to use the school computers.
