What are the characteristics of folk art-paper-cutting?

Features:

1. Line-to-line connection and line-to-line disconnection Paper-cut works must be hollowed out because they are cut out or carved on paper. As a result of hollowing out, paper-cuts with public lines must be connected with lines, and paper-cuts with bus lines must be disconnected with lines. If you cut off some lines, the whole paper-cut will be fragmented and deformed. Thus, there is a structure that does not fall or cut.

2. Composition Modeling and Composition In composition, paper-cutting is different from other paintings. "It is difficult to show the overlap of three-dimensional space, scene and image, which is often a breakthrough in the proportion and perspective relationship between objects and images."

3. The image is exaggerated, concise, beautiful and full of rhythm. Due to the limitation of tools and materials, it is required that paper-cutting should not only grasp the image characteristics, but also link the lines with nature.

4. Simple and clear paper-cut colors require simplicity and complexity, and less configuration of the same color, similar color and adjacent color. Seek harmony in contrasting colors. At the same time pay attention to the proportion of colors.

5. The knife should be "steady, accurate and skillful". Many characteristics and styles of folk paper-cutting are produced by certain knife skills.
