In the art of paper-cutting, what should we pay attention to in pattern design?

Pattern style, cutting difficulty and so on. All are places that should be paid attention to when designing patterns.

First of all, the pattern style should adapt to the scene and distinguish folk paper-cutting.

Paper-cutting is a traditional folk craft in China, which is often used in daily festivals and weddings. However, with the popularization of folk culture, paper-cutting has become a unique art, but there are still great differences between the pattern design of folk culture and paper-cutting art. For example, in terms of style and conception, traditional paper-cutting folklore is actually passed down from generation to generation without innovation.

Paper-cutting art is a creative activity, so every paper-cutting artist must have her own unique views behind a work, and how to make these ideas known to the public through paper-cutting is something that needs attention in pattern design. For example, in traditional paper-cutting, artists need to consider what kind of situation Chinese characters are in when designing patterns, and give the corresponding paper-cutting background, instead of cutting a Chinese character like traditional paper-cutting.

Second, the art of paper-cutting is not as difficult as possible.

In the eyes of many laymen, paper-cut works that look complicated are good, or works that take a long time to cut out are of high quality. Actually, it's not. Being good at paper-cutting can only explain the basic operating skills of a paper-cutting artist. If the pattern design is too complicated, it is easy to blur the theme to be expressed, which has the taste of usurping the role of the master. So when designing patterns, you don't need to secretly show off your skills. Everything needs the idea of taking the work as the center to design patterns.
