Materials

Scissors


Scissors have the main usage of simply cutting through object such as paper. You can have many different sizes of scissors all depending on the object that is needed to be cut through. You may also only use one blade of the scissor and score the material, which can be used to either bend the material accurately or so you may tear the material with an accurate line.


In my own work:

I used the scissors to cut through various pieces of colour card to create a collage of paper of which represents a landscape. I also used the scissors to score pieces of card to create bended patterns which added dimension to the work.

Health & Safety: Scissors consist of obvious health & safety hazards. The sharp blades of which are the main part of them can easily cut though skin. Also the point of the scissors can easily penetrate skin and severely damage you. If not held correcting it may even result in death. When travelling scissors should never been held with the point facing up, if you were to fall and trip this has a high probability of directly penetrating your body which could result in extremely serious injuries.
