Chinese Paper Cutting

We have been learning to fold and cut paper to create the Chinese character for Spring. We have begun to practice this as it will be the Chinese New Year on Thursday. Today we were perfecting our folding and drawing of the character. Tomorrow we are hoping to move onto the coloured card, which can be displayed in the class.

Here are a couple of videos to explain why paper cutting is a traditional art form. After watching them maybe you would like to have a go as well.
