Suggestions for Building Your
City
REMEMBER that you will be determining what types of materials
you want to use to build your cell city.
Some of the cheapest is colored
construction paper ( you can also get some of this from your instructor.) JUST
ASK!
If you want to use something sturdier than construction paper, there is
poster board.
One of the simplest ways to construct buildings is to create cubes
of different sizes.
Below is a diagram showing the "blueprints" for putting together
different sizes cubes. You can print it out, or ask your instructor for a
copy.You can create other
sizes by simply using a metric ruler.
Once you get the "blueprint" , use a sturdy sheet
of paper to make a template to use to make many cubes. You simply fold on the
bold lines, glue or tape the sides together, turn it over so the open end faces
down and you have a simple building.
You can then draw in doors and
windows.
You DO NOT
need to be real elaborate and put roofs on the cubical buildings unless you want
to.
An easy way to
create trees is to use Q-Tips. Cut them in half, color the cotton tip green, the
paper part brown, and you have a simple tree.
BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN WITH THIS!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
PLEASE ASK YOUR INSTRUCTOR!!
