New Project. SCISSORS!


So after finishing with the mortgage project. We were then assigned to do another project. This one however was different. We were supposed to design a project out of the object we were assigned to. So after pulling out the strip of paper out of the basket it said " scissors".
Similar to the other project we were sent off to look at the history of this object, and make mind maps. 
These are the sheets i had started with, when i was first assigned to this project. 

 My first sheet made was make a mind map of all the things we know that scissors can cut. So as seen in the image i had put down; wire, hair, plastic, food, cardboard, aluminium, paper, cloth, robe/ clothes etc.
 On this sheet of paper i had looked at the history of the scissors.It was first invented in Egypt around 1500 BC. The first earliest known scissors appeared in Mesopotamia, 3,000 / 4,000 years ago.
William Whiteley& Sons was the first manufacturer of scissors in the year 1760.
On this sheet, was looking at the Design, Function, Aesthetic of the scissors. Also in the corner on the left are all the materials that we know can be cut by scissors.
