What are the three common forms of paper-cutting?

First, monochrome paper cutting.

Monochrome paper-cutting is the most basic form of paper-cutting. Paper-cutting has many colors, such as red, green, brown, black and gold, which are mainly used for window decoration and embroidery. There are mainly three ways of expression: yin engraving, yang engraving and the combination of yin and yang.

Paper-cutting of embroidery patterns is often combined with cutting and stabbing. Stitching is to use the needle tip to stab small points in the details of the pattern, leaving a "hidden knife" in some parts, which can be used as the basis for changing needles in embroidery. Folding paper-cutting, silhouette and tearing paper are all manifestations of monochrome paper-cutting.

Second, color paper-cutting.

With the exploration and development of paper-cutting forms, the forms and techniques of color paper-cutting are gradually increasing, such as dyeing, color matching, color separation, color filling, woodcut, ink painting, cross-painting, color editing and so on.

Each form has its own characteristics and originality: stippling and paper-cutting are moist and decorative; Color matching paper-cut is crisp and bright; Color separation paper-cut has bright color separation and rich color sense; Colorful paper-cutting is simple, clean and bright, giving people a different feeling.

Three-dimensional paper cutting

Three-dimensional paper-cutting can be monochrome or color. It uses the comprehensive techniques of painting, cutting, folding and gluing to make a new paper-cut close to sculpture and relief. It absorbs the skills of modern art, fully embodies the characteristics of realism and artistic romance, and makes the paper-cut become three-dimensional from plane feeling, which can be used for decorative modeling and children's hand-making.
