A Landscape That Can Change Its Mind
Arrange three loose paper shapes into a world you can rearrange.
Time: 5–15 minutes
Skip the glue. This landscape is allowed to become something else, using scraps you already have.
What you need
- scrap paper
Try this idea
- Tear three large shapes from scrap paper. Uneven edges can become coastlines or mountains.
- Overlap them on a clear surface to make an island or mountain scene.
- Move just one piece to turn it into an impossible place. Pick an arrangement to enjoy before putting the scraps away.
A smaller version
Use two scraps without tearing them.
A good place to stop
One arrangement that catches your eye is enough.
Make it work for you
Use existing pieces if tearing is uncomfortable. Slide large pieces with the side of your hand.
Another way in
Arrange the shapes as a creature instead of a landscape.
