The composition method of Shaanxi folk paper-cutting
The composition of paper-cutting is a head-up composition. Since paper-cutting is made of flat paper, the pattern formed by its decorative points, lines, and surfaces determines that paper-cutting can only use simple two-dimensional graphics to express the specific meaning of the pattern. Therefore, in the paper-cutting process, we must boldly choose materials, use abbreviations and complexities, and use concise lines to summarize the things we want to express. Finally, we will form an expressive work with prominent emphasis, contrast between reality and reality, and three-dimensional scenes and objects become two-dimensional. Flat shape. Paper-cutting uses a flat perspective to shape all images within a specific visual plane, forming a typical feature of flatness.
We see that the creators of paper-cut patterns use divergent thinking, make arbitrary choices according to their own experience and spirituality, and create freely. With their bold play, flat paper breaks through the limitations of volume and space, breaking the natural The objective laws and limitations of space, no perspective, no proportion. In a limited space, the creator vividly expresses his feelings and love for life through paper-cutting. Through this composition, the multi-layered, three-dimensional and sparse feeling that the packaging wants to convey can be well reflected.
