The influence of paper-cut symmetrical composition on ceramic decoration

This composition The form is called symmetrical composition.
Symmetrical composition is the most common composition method in paper-cutting. As shown in the picture "Doll with a Bun", this work "Doll with a Bun" is a symmetrical paper-cut. The work comprehensively uses a variety of paper-cut language symbols. The dolls bun is cut with a zigzag pattern to express the realism and three-dimensionality of her hair. The dolls arms are decorated with willow leaf patterns, which is simple and elegant. From the overall composition, the dolls body is the center, supplemented by two chickens and two fishes on the top, bottom, left and right, and the structure of the objects is well-proportioned.

The Pisces is like the legs of the doll. This is also where the author shows considerable skill. This kind of composition gives people a sense of left and right echo, balance and stability; through the symmetrical composition technique of paper-cutting, it shows a different visual effect from the general pattern and is more organized. This is an important prerequisite for paper-cut graphics to have decorative properties.
