MY EXPERIENCE WITH M2M

PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PAPER

1. Newspaper: It's a very thin paper. But the first project made me realize that with the help of proper techniques it can be made very strong.

2. Pastel sheet- the perfect “go to paper “ for everyone. Works great for burning, paper cutting, quilling, 3D models

3. Bond paper : It is a very thin and light paper but can provide a great deal of strength when layered but it does not work very well with watercolors as the paper is very thin.

4. Corrugated sheet- extremely sturdy and perfect for 3D models that require a strong base.

5. Tissue paper : This material is highly absorbent and soft but gives a good effect when dyed.

6.OHP sheet- the transparent nature of the sheet provides for some creative uses. It is difficult to cut and tends to be slippery.

7.Kite paper : It is extremely thin and fragile.

8.Gateway sheet- it’s translucent but thick. It was a lot of strength and thus is not easy to fold. It works great for paper cutting projects

SAFE PRACTICES

1. Using paper cutter:

A. Keep your full attention on the cutting task.

B. Use a protective hand shield while using the cutter.

C. Always use a metal scale

D. Use sharp blades for cutting.

E. Always keep the first aid box nearby while working with a paper cutter.

2. Burning Paper:

A. Never burn paper in closed spaces.

B. Keep fire extinguisher neasr by.

C. Never keep the matchstick or candle very close to the paper.

D. While burning the matchstick, strike it away from the direction of the body.

3. Using adhesives:

A. Always close the adhesive after using it or else it may dry.

B. Be careful while using strong adhesives like elfi. Avoid getting them on the skin

C. If the adhesive is stuck on the skin, try soaking the skin in warm water or use coconut oil to get rid of it.

D. While using the hot glue gun keep it away from flammable materials.

E. Always wear heat resistant gloves and safety glasses while using the hot glue gun.

CONCLUSION

Everything was so comfortable and interesting.New way of learning virtually, it has been a great experience than what i expected. Our faculty has kept us so engaged into things that it didn't feel as if I was in a new environment. Unlike my earlier experience with learning I enjoy this hands on approach a lot more. I can engage all my sense and learn while gaining experiencing.

one of the main key learning from this project was to do not underestimate your creativity or your design.

keep experimenting and hustling until you are fully satisfied with your self.

keep on questioning yourself and try to do better.

make sure that you are judging and evaluating your own work.

Take rest and try to complete your work within the class time.
