What should traditional paper-cut art do to "warm up"?

Paper-cut art is an intangible cultural heritage, which has existed for thousands of years. It can be traced back to the Northern Dynasties at the earliest, and it can be spread to this day, which shows that paper-cutting has irreplaceable artistic charm, simple and exquisite production, and is a very interesting activity in daily life.

With the changes of the times, the size of the group who can cut paper and are good at it has shrunk, but there are still many fans. And many people have been exposed to paper-cutting since childhood. Like some art activities in primary and secondary schools, teachers will teach simple paper-cut patterns, and scissors can be cut casually to unfold beautiful paper paintings, which is very magical. So paper-cutting activities are not? Unpopular? However, the biggest factor limiting its development and growth is the collision between traditional and modern aesthetics, which leads to the decrease of its market demand.

How many people will choose paper-cutting as home accessories now? Presumably not many, the style of modern home is not as good as paper-cut art, and people will choose the minimalist style of modern decoration first. So generally speaking, the biggest market for paper-cut paintings appears during the Spring Festival, and the red paper-cut is festive and decent, which is very pleasing. Many paper-cut artists also seized this opportunity to create many beautiful paper-cuts.

In normal times, some people maximize the artistic expression of paper-cutting and turn it into souvenirs and collectibles in order to broaden the market of paper-cutting. For example, selling small paper-cut ornaments in scenic spots has a beautiful appearance, and it is very ornamental to put them on the table as ornaments or bookmarks, which is a good way out.

Personally, I think we can increase the investment of art colleges in traditional crafts. Because young people are the most inherited generation, if we combine modern design with paper-cutting art, try to change colors and frames and break patterns, it may enhance the appreciation of paper-cutting in modern society. On the one hand, it inherits the paper-cutting technology, on the other hand, it updates the times, and the influence of paper-cutting culture may expand, which in turn will play a positive role in promoting itself.
