Hello, /po/
I need to make some sort of paper model representing a jurassic landscape but I have no idea on how to go about it. the trees/bushes have to resemble actual species. I thought about a pop up book or something, but I also don't know how I'm going to represent the plants. I thought about just printing actual pictures and cutting them, but I'm afraid it might end up looking kind of bland. any ideas?
Just getting a bunch of green/brown paper in different hues and cutting out plant components will look way better than printed ones. You can make structures with paper cylinders, pyramids, prisms, etc, and then add 2d elements (leaves, branches, flowers) to give them body and complexity.
For attaching components, you could go all out and design 3d models with tabs. If you are in more of a hurry, you could fake it with connecting strips, ca glue, wire, thread, etc.
Good luck. School was a pain and I am sorry for you anon.

this sounds really interesting, thanks for the tip. Many of the plants kinda look alike, so I thought simple geometrical shapes wouldn't do it, the 2D elements would do the trick. But still, how? I can draw some animu, but when I tried some tree/landscape sketches and they turned out like garbage.

this is for paleontology 116, believe it or not.

High school or college or post grad or work training, it can all be a slog through the BS, I didn't mean to insinuate you were young
I agree with anon >>536978. I have made a tree with rectangular prisms and it served me very well. I would recommend building a strong base for your trees. Anything that does not have a base will easily fall.
God bless you!
