Copying refers to a method in which the copied paper-cut pattern sample is placed on colored paper, bound and fixed together with the colored paper, and then carved with a knife.
In teaching copying and copying, teachers should pay attention to the following issues:
1. First, let students master the most basic knowledge of paper-cutting, which is the basis of this step of teaching. This knowledge mainly includes the understanding of patterns, understanding of decorative nets and mastering the basic characteristics of paper-cutting. For example, let students understand zigzag patterns, crescent strips, and willow leaf patterns, and know several commonly used decorative nets, such as prismatic nets, wheat ear nets, cracked nets, etc., and focus on mastering the basic characteristics of paper-cutting. The basic characteristics of paper-cutting can be summarized in four words: "hollowing out" and "connection". "Hollowing out" is a technique that uses tools to cut out the meaningless parts of a designed pattern according to the design requirements, so as to embody the designed shape. "Connection" is a method to effectively connect the individual shapes of the designed pattern and the design patterns within the shape through some decorative patterns or decorative nets. In paper-cutting, "connection" includes the connection between two shapes and the connection between various patterns within a shape. "Hollowing out" and "connection" are the most essential characteristics of paper-cut art, and the two are mutually reinforcing. Without "hollowing out", "connection" would be impossible to talk about. Without "connection", "hollow-out" would not exist. No one would just grab a handful of pieces of paper from the pile and call it a paper-cut work.
After students master the characteristics of paper-cutting, it will be easy to understand why paper-cutting is also called paper-cutting, but the tools used are different. After learning by analogy, students will also understand that works made by tearing by hand, soldering with a soldering iron, burning and other techniques, as well as works made by combining the above techniques can be collectively called paper-cutting, but the commonly used method is to use carving.Carving with a knife, cutting with scissors, and other techniques are special techniques in paper-cutting. The paper-cut works produced by these techniques will have some special effects. This not only teaches students knowledge, but also cultivates their desire to cut paper, laying a good foundation for the next step of teaching.
2. Paper-cutting teaching is not only to teach students the knowledge of paper-cutting, but more importantly, to train students in the basic skills of paper-cutting, such as telling students how to carry and perform the knife, under what circumstances it is beneficial to use the knife method, and under what circumstances In this case, it is more effective to use the knife cutting method; when carving a round hole, how should the hand hold the knife, how to move the knife, how the rotation of the paper should cooperate well with the knife movement, etc.
3. In the teaching of copying and copying, teachers should strengthen guidance. When students are new to paper-cutting, they tend to be more passionate and emotional, but are not mentally prepared for the physical, visual, and mental exertion. This requires teachers not only to be full of enthusiasm, but also to understand students' understanding of paper-cutting. Students will be taught in accordance with their aptitude according to their interests and paper-cutting problems. Paper-cutting is a slow job, and students are prone to impatience during paper-cutting. For this reason, teachers must guide patiently. Before paper-cutting, students must be fully mentally prepared for the difficulties they may encounter during paper-cutting, and provide timely guidance if problems arise. Otherwise, the teachers enthusiasm will freeze in the students' hearts.
