What paper is commonly used for paper cutting? What paper is commonly used for paper-cutting in national defense education? The most commonly used paper for paper cutting is red paper for writing couplets. This kind of paper is of moderate thickness, the cut flowers are not too thick, and the asymmetrical cut flowers are also tough. Actually, all kinds of paper can be cut, thin and thick.
1, the key depends on what pattern to cut, such as cutting flowers. You have to fold the paper in half several times, so you'd better use thinner paper, such as rice paper. Otherwise, a few more folds will be too thick and will affect the effect.
If you want to cut asymmetric patterns, you can use thicker paper. As long as the color and texture are good, thicker paper is not easy to break.
It depends on the purpose of paper cutting. In the past, most paper-cuts were pasted on windows, so we should use thin paper to cut out more patterns and paste them on windows so as not to block the light. To cut embroidery, you have to use thick paper, stick the cut paper on the thing to be embroidered, and embroider slowly. If the paper is thin, the flowers will break before the embroidery is finished.
"Paper-cutting art is produced in the practice of workers, and it is also their own art. It is a simple and free ideographic form created by working people to meet the needs of spiritual life through productive labor and social activities, and it is applied and circulated among them." It is determined by various art forms created by human beings.
The so-called paper-cutting art is a unique folk art with its own artistic language and expression, which can be summarized in one sentence, that is, "the art of separating graphics from paper." In short, it is a simple plane carving art to realize decoration through cutting, tearing, carving and fire carving.
From the modeling methods of paper-cutting, paper-cutting adopts many methods, such as head-up method, homophonic method, abbreviation method, exaggeration method, isomorphism method, shape-shifting method, overlapping method, cutting method and reference method. Therefore, paper-cutting has more and more colorful connotations. Because paper has great restrictions and constraints on the modeling image in color and material, it is insufficient in expressing the sense of volume, depth and layering of objects. In order to make up for these shortcomings and defects, the observation and expression methods of looking straight, looking down and looking around are adopted. From the form of paper-cutting, it can be divided into monochrome paper-cutting and color paper-cutting. Monochrome paper-cutting can be divided into negative engraving, positive engraving and combination of yin and yang. No matter what the content of paper-cutting, its basic feature is the unity of realism and deformation; By adopting this method, people's psychological needs for perfection and beauty are met, the integrity of things is shown, and the artistic effect is unobstructed.
Paper-cut art is a cultural form that people quickly adopt when they need it to express their needs. Therefore, it does not take a lot of time to reach the height of authenticity, but to meet the needs of cultural expression. Because of this, it uses homophonic meaning to form a certain modeling method. In homophonic paper-cutting, there are generally two homophonic meanings:
One is pure homophonic, that is, a single voice makes the image and meaning completely harmonious, such as homophonic "money" with money, thus turning an abstract Kyrgyz into a concrete collection of paper-cut patterns;
The second is mixed homophonic, that is, through the mixed use of homophonic and metonymy, symbol and other means, to achieve the purpose of homophonic. In addition, the direct moral method is adopted to design the performance theme. Through homophonic, symbolic, moral and other means, the natural form is concise and summarized; At the same time, the ingenious and reasonable composition form and expression method make the paper-cut art unique and full of vitality.
Paper-cutting art is mainly a kind of life culture created by working people, which is closely related to people's lives, customs and habits, and is mostly directly used to beautify themselves, objects and living environment. With its simple modeling and perfect function, it meets the multi-level and multi-faceted needs of workers in spirit and material. It is not only the source of art, but also the stream of art and the artistic embodiment of colorful public life.
In a word, the artistic expression of paper-cutting is mainly realized through this unique composition, the expression of yin and yang and the layout of points, lines and surfaces on paper.
What themes do paper-cutting generally reflect? Everything is available. We also have a folk artist there who specializes in cutting characters in a dream of red mansions.
What are the general steps of paper cutting? 1, draft:
After the idea is determined, draft the layout, describe the picture in detail, and draw a black and white effect. The modified part can be white powder. For beginners, the finer the manuscript, the easier it is to carve. If you carve a symmetrical manuscript, you can draw half.
2. Cutting and carving:
If carving with a knife, the painting and paper must be nailed together, and the four corners should be fixed on the wax board. In order to ensure the accuracy of the image, people should carve the five senses first, flowers and birds should carve the details or key parts first, and then slowly carve them from the center to the periphery. The order of knives is like writing, from top to bottom, from left to right, from small to large, from fine to thick, from part to whole. Try to avoid repeated knife-cutting, the unnecessary parts must be cut off, and you can't tear them by hand, otherwise the paper-cutting will have burrs and affect the appearance.
3. Separation:
After the paper-cut is cut and carved, it needs to be uncovered one by one. Electro-optic paper and cotton wool paper are easy to uncover because of their smooth surfaces. Single-leaf rice paper and art paper are easy to stick together because they are light, moist and colored, and are not easy to uncover. Therefore, before uncovering the cover, you must rub the engraved cardboard gently to separate the papers from each other, and then gently uncover the first corner of the paper, and at the same time, blow air with your mouth to help.
4. Paste:
After peeling, the finished product should be pasted for easy storage. There are two ways. First, put the paper-cut flat on the supporting paper and stick it from the inside out with a brush or thin wood chips dipped in paste. This method can't make all paper-cuts stick flat, which is slow and has the advantage of simplicity. The second is to put the paper-cut flat on the paper in reverse, then dip the diluted paste with a combination brush and gently brush it on the paper to be supported. Be careful not to wrinkle the paper brush. There must be less paste on the brush. Then, quickly fix the brushed paste on the back of the paper-cut, and gently flatten it by hand, so that all the paper-cuts are pasted on the paper holder. Gently lift, dry, clamp and store. Besides pasting, white latex can also be used as an adhesive.
5, finished product modification:
Sometimes you will use a knife when cutting, especially when cutting paper. If it is damaged in a large area, it will be difficult to repair it. If it is a small area of damage, you can carve out the area and carve a new one. Color paper-cut can't be covered if it is dyed wrong, and it has to be engraved and dyed again. Be sure to pay attention to the change before cutting.
6. Copy-sample fumigation-sample drying
There are two ways to copy. First, put the paper-cut samples on white paper and put them flat in the water together. When the water soaks the paper surface and contains no water drops, pull the engraved paper and white paper out of the water surface at the same time, stick them on the wood block, and then steam the paper on the oil lamp, but don't be too close to the lamp holder to avoid burns. If you need to make a lot of copies, you can take the method of printing pictures: stick the original and white paper coated with a layer of liquid medicine (red blood salt and aqueous solution), clamp it with two pieces of glass, expose it to the sun for 3- 14 hours, and then rinse the liquid medicine on the paper with clear water after development, and you can make copies.
What photo frame do paper-cuts usually put in? What frame is used for paper cutting depends on the pattern and style of paper cutting.
Generally speaking, you need to pay attention to two aspects when choosing a photo frame, 1 and the texture of the photo frame, such as solid wood, plastic, acrylic and glass. 2, the color of the photo frame.
You need to follow the style of paper cutting. If it is a traditional red paper-cut, it will usually be accompanied by a darker photo frame, which is relatively simple. Of course, if it is small, it can also be matched with bright and bright colors. If it is a non-traditional pattern, such as scenery, figures or black-and-white paper-cutting, you can choose a more modern photo frame, which will definitely suit you.
Can Redmi paper be used for paper cutting? Of course. However, this kind of paper-cut is more upscale.
If it is scissors, Hongxuan is more suitable. Tougher, not afraid of folding many times.
If it's a paper-cut for the New Year, it's usually vermilion paper with 50 cents on the street, which is relatively thin and can be carved many times.
How thick is the tin foil usually used? The price of tin foil is generally around 10 yuan, with width of 30cm, length of 5m and 5m, 10m. You can choose according to your own needs.
In addition, it is best to have metal serrations on the package to facilitate cutting.
Tin foil is a kind of metal packaging sheet similar to paper, which is used to carry or package food and is widely used in all fields of life. The tin foil we often use in home baking is not made of tin, because the melting point of tin is low, and it will become brittle above 160 degrees, which limits the application of tin foil. The modern technology is to use aluminum foil instead of tin. The melting point of aluminum foil is 660 degrees, so it can be used in baking or other high-temperature heating methods, and it is clean and hygienic, and the price is not high. So strictly speaking, what we are using now should be called "aluminum foil paper", not "tin foil paper".
The role of tin foil in baking;
1. Used as pad paper for baking tray to avoid direct contact between baking tray and food and prevent food from sticking to baking tray; Secondly, the bacteria on the baking tray are isolated, which is more sanitary and avoids the trouble of cleaning the baking tray. It can also be reused many times.
2. When barbecuing or seafood, you can wrap the ingredients with tin foil to prevent water loss, keep the fresh taste of the ingredients and prevent the food from burning.
When baking cakes or bread, you can cover the surface with a layer of tin foil after the food is colored, so that the surface will not be affected by the deep color.
