Just did Chinese Paper Cutting Demo cum workshop to an event for Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. Many guests were very interesting to participate in this demo and workshop.
I just realized many people did not know how to use scissors, so I had tried my best to guide them.
Talking about Chinese Paper Cutting, the traditional way was to draw the design on the back of the red paper then do the related cutting.
Chinese Paper Cutting is actual belonging to one of the graphic design category in my view; one of the methods to produce it was using the template. We can just use the computer to design it and then print out the design and stable it on the red paper and do the cutting.
Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.
