i need to build a model of the parthenon materials step by step instructions websites any thing plz

Answer 1

Do some research first. (Look at buildings in your area, and pictures of buildings in books, magazines, on the Web, etc.)

Make sketches and try some of the paper cutting-folding-gluing techniques suggested below.

What kind of building will you design?

Make forms with removable tape. This step will let you join the forms neatly. It will help you to plan and lightly sketch where the details, such as windows, should go on each form.

Remove the tape and take the model apart so that you can draw and color details on the flat parts. Then glue the parts together again to finish the model.

Here's a list of materials to get together:

-white glue (or hot glue)
-removable tape (less sticky transparent or masking tape)
-scissors
-razor knife (X-ACTO brand knife, #11 blade, or its equivalent.)
-paper clips
-ruler
-pencil
-construction paper and/or cardboards (if you can get them, "foam-core" boards are what many architects use). These come in many colors, but can be painted and drawn upon too.
-photographs of historically important buildings
-any other materials that will improve your model

Ideas about making three-dimensional shapes:

1. Find some scrap cardboard boxes. Take them apart, examining the shapes that were cut and folded in order to make them out of flat pieces. Imagine how various changes to your examples would result in different objects when reassembled. (The most elegant forms are usually made from as few pieces as possible, but use more whenever necessary.) Notice too what was done to keep these boxes from coming apart-- tabs in slots, glue, tape, staples, etc.

2. Buildings made only of rectangles and right angles are so common as to be very boring. You should make more unusual forms once you've made some typical ones. One of the reasons boxes are so often rectalinear is that they're easier (cheaper) to construct. Making stairs, for example-- whether straight or spiralling-- requires much more care than making a box. Cones and cylinders are actually pretty easy to make by comparison. Consider too some odd shapes you can make with little or no planning, creating a few as though by accident. (Get playful!) Turning such forms in your hands, consider how and why you might alter such odd forms, or make more pleasing versions of them.

3. You may find that some of the shapes you want are available as common scraps. As with the shapes you shape yourself, you can either alter found objects or use them as found. Consider paper-towel tubes and other packaging materials. Also plumbing, carpentry, and hardware stuff. Even the hemisphere for a dome might be devised quite easily using a ball no one will miss.
