What is paper sculpture painting?

Paper sculpture originally belongs to a kind of Chinese folk traditional handmade art, used to be that people use the leftover waste paper trimmings or waste book paper to cut or fold into a variety of image works for entertainment. The process of making them inspired people's imagination and interest in hands-on creation. Nowadays, the skills of folding and carving are more refined, and the varieties of styles are more complicated and wonderful, forming its unique artistic beauty.

In the middle of the 18th century, some European artists who preferred to create the art of paper sculpture, they used simple tools and different paper, creating a number of thematic paper sculpture works. The art of paper sculpture has spread from Europe to the rest of the world, and the most prestigious is the annual "3D Art" competition, in which artists from many regions, including Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, and other countries, participate to provide superb works to compete for hard-earned awards. Many art schools in the West now have specialized departments for paper sculpture.
