Good morning, Year 9! Today, we are diving into the fascinating world of paper manipulation techniques, a skill that allows you to transform a simple sheet of paper into a beautiful work of art. But before we get started, I want you to take a moment to engage your imagination.
Imagine walking into a room filled with stunning sculptures, intricate designs, and vibrant colours—only to discover that everything around you is made from a humble piece of paper! Today, I have a special challenge for you: to think about how you can change the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Now, I invite you to open your eyes and share your thoughts with a partner. What images came to your mind? How do you think paper manipulation can help express your ideas in your artwork?
Once we have shared our visions, we’ll venture into the hands-on part of today’s lesson. You will learn various paper manipulation techniques such as folding, tearing, and cutting—all of which will empower you to create unique designs for your projects.
Are you ready to unleash your creativity and explore these paper manipulation techniques? Let’s gather our materials and dive into this artistic adventure together!
