Comments on Children's Paper-cut Works

A truly excellent paper-cut work has certain standards. How to appreciate an excellent paper-cut work?

1, knife taste and paper feel

A high-quality paper-cut art work must have its own style and characteristics. Each art has its own unique style because of its different tools and forms of expression. For example, Chinese painting pays attention to pen and ink, western oil painting pays attention to color blocks, and woodcut pays attention to black and white. Pay attention to the taste of knife and paper when cutting paper. Paper-cutting that imitates printmaking with a knife on paper should not be regarded as "good paper-cutting" or a masterpiece. An excellent paper-cut should use the language of paper-cut to shape the artistic image.

2. Exquisite and exquisite

A very important feature of paper-cut art language is that all images are shaped in exquisite forms. In addition to the performance of paper-cutting tools and materials, this mainly requires that paper-cutting has the practical need of "light transmission". Especially "window grilles" require this, otherwise, the black paper-cut pasted on the window will block all outdoor light, which is neither transparent nor beautiful.

Step 3 emphasize decoration

An excellent paper-cut art work should emphasize decoration. The composition is fair and symmetrical, the picture is balanced and elegant, the line thickness is appropriate, the color is bright, soft and harmonious. In addition, due to the relationship between tools and materials, some unique techniques in paper-cut works (such as "crescent moon" and "sawtooth pattern") are also important factors contributing to its decorative characteristics.

4, deformation exaggeration

Paper-cut art works should emphasize modeling exaggeration and give consideration to silhouette beauty. Any image has some beauty and ugliness. The purpose of artistic exaggeration is to strengthen the factors that highlight beauty and narrow and simplify the factors that are ugly. Exaggerated pictures will be pleasing to the eye.
