What paper sculpture is it?
Paper sculpture, also called paper relief. Its origin can be traced back to the invention of paper in Han Dynasty in China and the improvement of German paper in16th century. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/8th century, a group of European artists who loved to create opened the door to paper carving. They used simple tools and different papers to create many themed paper sculptures. Augustine Walker, a famous British paper sculpture pioneer in17th century, completed two nautical works in 1760, which are still preserved in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England.
After all, paper carving is a handicraft made of a special kind of paper. It is reported that paper sculptures were first made of papyrus, a plant called papyrus. Later, in the Gulf areas such as Turkey, people began to replace this papyrus with the skins of livestock, but this invisibly made this handicraft expensive. In the 20th century, people made similar paper substitutes. This kind of paper is firm, flexible and cheap, so this thick and transparent paper relief material was born.
With the popularization of materials, paper relief art is once again popular all over the world, and its works are suitable for decoration, gift and collection of living space.
Paper carving is the revival of traditional crafts.
Of course, paper carving is made of paper and then molded with a knife mold, which combines the beauty of painting and sculpture. Paper carving originated very early. It is not so much a new art as a revival of traditional crafts with the help of modern crafts. The production of paper carving requires artists to skillfully use cutting, cutting, folding, rolling, folding and gluing. With the popularization of paper sources and the development of paper carving technology, paper carving has developed into a profitable illustration medium. Today, paper carving is still the vanguard of the three-dimensional illustration industry. Many western art institutions have special departments to teach paper sculpture and its various three-dimensional creation methods.
In the era of industrial revolution, due to the vigorous development of industry and commerce, paper carving art began to be popular in the window of department stores, and then the invention of photography technology further showed paper carving in the print media, forming the popularization of paper carving art.
In its heyday, paper carving spread from Europe to all parts of the world. The most famous is the annual "3D Art" competition. Artists from Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and other regions participated in this grand event, providing hard-won awards for super-standard works.
Interest in making paper carvings
Three-dimensional paper carving, if I don't tell you what it is made of, if I look far away in the frame, most people will mistake it for wood carving or tooth carving, which is the interest of paper carving. The finished three-dimensional paper carving is hung on the wall, which has a feeling of combining classicality with fashion. Many pictures of paper carvings are famous paintings, and the texture and effect of such "famous paintings" are different from those of printing plates, because the process of making paper carvings is full of interest.
At present, there are two kinds of paper carving: hand carving and carving-free. Engraving-free printing means that the machine rolls out printing according to the edge of the pattern, and you only need to press it with your fingers one by one. The first step of hand-carved paper carving painting is "carving". The hardest part of carving a painting is the smallest part. Such fine fencing requires your full attention, and that kind of peace of mind will naturally come.
All the pictures have been carved, so we have to arrange them one by one. Scrape the back of each part with a plastic pen first, because when carving, uneven stress will make the four sides of the picture tilt to varying degrees. Then "trace" the line with a hook pen. This pen is colorless. After the pen tip is drawn, the picture will appear three-dimensional-it is uneven when viewed horizontally in your hand. Then, some paintings are dark, and you should dip the brush in ink to hook the edge of the white paper.
Finally, the process of pasting layer by layer, according to the requirements of the exploded view, paste all the parts you carved in order. At this time, those small parts come alive like building blocks or puzzles, from small windows and stoves to bow ties and neps ... glue is very particular, so we must use stereo glue. This glue is only squeezed out a little at a time, as big as a bead, and then the pattern is "stuck" on the glue. When the glue is dry, it will be elastic when you gently press the picture with your hand, which means "three-dimensional".
Making paper carvings, although the picture is certain and the production procedure is the same, the finished product will never be the same. This is because, from "carving" to "pasting", you unconsciously "do" your hobbies.
