LECTURE

A  Personal Perspective:  An Attempt at Innovation and Inventiveness
This slide lecture will portray a chronological evolution of Joan  
Michaels Paque’s creative output with emphasis on her most recent  
series of complex pleat folds and tessellations.

Her research, development and experimentation has resulted in a  
series of unique sculptural kinetic books that expand the definition  
of what a book is or can be.



Workshop

Creative Journey: 3D Paper Arts (Books, Boxes and More)

This hands-on Paper Arts course includes both traditional and  
innovative building and binding techniques. Among the methods  
introduced are sewn, woven, interlocking, pop-up, origami and kinetic  
structures. The use of both conventional and unorthodox materials is  
illustrated along with creative concepts, ideas and applications.  
Architectural and engineering principles are explored along with  
expedient and simplified methods of working. Participants will make  
prototypes and maquette studies that are applicable in 2D and 3D for  
later adaptation into media, material and technique of choice.  
Emphasis is on kinetic structures. Instructor’s non-intimidating,  
enjoyable methods encourage an empirical, problem-solving approach  
and individual style development.

Joan Michaels Paque includes the results of her research, development  
and experimentation with complex pleat and twist folds and  
tessellations that resulted in a series of unique sculptural kinetic  
books. Course content, for both the serious and the curious, is also  
applicable in the fine and graphic arts, sculpture and in teaching.
