Masahiko Senda, artist
Kyoto artist Masahiko Senda doesn’t sculpt with stone or clay. He uses cardboard to create his statues and figurines. Senda says he strives to create pieces that “surprise and amuse people.” He should add “impress” to that list, because that’s exactly what his work does.
Masahiko Senda, artist
“You can use hard cardboard paper to design (models) in any way you want, and it is cheap,” Senda told the Asahi News (via Japan Bullet) back in 2011. “When I conceive an interesting idea, I can’t help but make it straight away.”
Cardboard might be cheap, but his models require a huge time investment. Senda spent three months working on a cardboard motorcycle.

Notes & Skill Builder
Texture
In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions.
Types of Texture
Texture - the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance
Simulated (Implied) Texture - type of texture that is created to look like something it is not
(Ex.) drawing or painting of a cat where its fur is made to look like real fur
Types of Texture: Actual Textures
Types of Texture: Implied Textures

WHAT IS A TINY HOUSE?
Most people will say a tiny house is a home with less than 400 square feet of space.
Many times, tiny houses are build on wheels. This means they are mobile and can be moved to different locations. A lot of tiny house owners like this because they can live in different areas or even someone’s backyard.
Who lives in tiny houses?
Anyone can live in a tiny house. It doesn’t if it’s a single person or a family of five.
A tiny house is just like any other home, except it’s much smaller.
Why live in a tiny house?
