Paper cutting

 

Description: In this project, we explored the art of paper folding and cutting using tissue paper. We started by learning how to fold the tissue paper in a specific way to create symmetrical patterns. After folding, we carefully cut small shapes into each section of the paper, adding unique details to every fold. Once the paper was unfolded, we revealed a beautiful, intricate cut-out design. The process allowed us to create stunning patterns and explore the magic of how simple folds and cuts can transform into a work of art.

Extension Activity: To extend the skills we practiced with folding and cutting tissue paper, students will create a tissue paper collage using their cut-out designs as the focal point. After completing their cut-out project, students will choose a theme (such as nature, animals, or abstract art) and create a background collage to complement their design. They can use more tissue paper, colored construction paper, or other materials to build up the background. The cut-out piece will be glued onto the collage, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. Students can experiment with layering, textures, and colors to enhance their designs. Afterward, students will share their finished collages with the class and explain how they chose their theme and combined the different elements in their artwork.
