Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books

Overview

“In this lesson, you will easily learn the importance of angles and energies for a good performance of mechanisms. You have to remember that this is a non-math class, so I'm going to try to explain the basics we need in a very practical way so that you don't feel like playing tricks on this lesson. I will teach you how to use the protractor and the importance of good linear work for our mechanisms to work. I will also tell you about the difference between energies and how to get the most out of them. It is not the same energy that is generated in the corners of the book when opening it, that we can generate when pulling an element or opening a flap. A good book has a bit of both: the one that it produces and the one that we can generate with mobile elements.”

In this video lesson Silvia Hijano Coullaut (Libracos) addresses the topic: Non-math class, which is part of the Domestika online course: Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books. Learn different mechanisms to create your own three-dimensional book with multiple settings.

“Non-Math Class In this lesson, we'll do a non-math class. It's not math because I wouldn't know how to do it and because doing formulas would be pointless. I'll show you my tricks, or rather my misfortunes, that I use in the workshop when I draw out mechanisms. When drawing figures, you should consider the proportionality rather than the size. Some don't work without a series of sides. I'll draw a square by hand so that you can see the series of faces that you need. I won't measure anything. The trick is to cut out a square, that is a perfect square, in the size that you want, I won't even ...”
