Paper cutting is a kind of art of paper design. Fold and cut are important steps of making paper-cutting artwork. With these steps, even simple shapes can generate fabulous artwork. In this assignment I created a set of instructions for the paper cutting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Pick a square paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fold the paper in whatever way you like, but you can only fold for at most 4 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Choose a face of your folded paper. Draw some rectangular, triangles, and semi-circles on the face. You can draw the shapes at wherever you like but for each shape, no more than two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Cut off the shapes you drew on the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Unfold the paper, now you have paper cutting work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the instruction, I\u2019ve created some constraints like the max times that the creators should fold, the kinds of shapes that they can use, and also the max number of shapes. However, I also keep some freedom for creators. Like the way they fold and the place they would like to draw the shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the instruction, I created these three artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After sending instructions to my friends, I got their artwork like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All of them are surprised about the final work after step 5. One creator said that she had an idea about what she would like to create before starting the steps, but the final artwork is totally different from the result in her mind. The other creator did the work in a different way. He didn\u2019t think about what the work would be like after each step but do whatever he like. But the final work still surprised him. He had never imagined that the artwork he created looked like a mushroom and he like the work he created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In paper cutting work, the part we cut off were just simple shapes, but the folding step duplicated the simple shapes and make them into symmetric patterns. The combination of the different shapes makes it a creative paper artwork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
