Pop-up House Storyboard
Another way to illustrate books is by using pop-up designs. Design your own home and add cut-out drawings or origami shapes to illustrate your scene. Tweens: add a garden or landscape using paper cutouts or origami (instructions below).
Note: Use 2 sheets of cardstock in your art kit or any color of paper you prefer (letter size). For the drawing cut-outs use any paper or the origami paper in the art kit.
Connect the lines with a vertical dotted line. Draw a dotted line to make the roof line. Cut through the full lines (not the dotted lines).
4. Open the pop-up storyboard and use the origami paper to cut out drawings, make origami shapes, and paste on your storyboard.
Tweens: add a garden or landscape using paper cutouts and/or origami shapes.
Storytelling with Pop-ups
Urban Scene Pop-up
Another way to illustrate books is by using pop-up designs. Create your own pop-up card or storyboard, following the steps below.
Note: use 2 white cardstock sheets and 1 black cardstock sheet in the art kit.
Place the black cardstock under it matching both sheets on the center and sides. Glue all around and on the folds area. Close and press for the glue to make contact.
Measure the distance from the base of the pop-up to the edge of the sheet. Write down this measurement. Your buildings cannot be taller than this or they will stick out when you close the pop-up. This is the maximum height of your buildings.
On the second sheet of the white cardstock, draw a horizontal line at the distance you recorded from the edge of the sheet. To determine the width of your buildings, align the edge of the second sheet against the base of the pop-up and mark the width. Make it slightly wider than the structure of the pop-up.
13. Render the designs with pencil, pen, markers, and/or color, if you prefer.
Cut-out the building shapes inside the rectangles and attach the back with glue or tape to the structure of the pop-up. You may add additional cut-outs: people, trees, cars, planes, stars, anything that you envision in your urban landscape.
