Most often cut in black or white paper, it frequently includes symmetry as a primary design element, and can encompass everything from delicate silhouettes and love letters to complex landscapes and scenes from everyday life. In this class, students will design and cut their own patterns in folded paper, producing several works of art while being inspired by historical and contemporary examples of this humble yet extraordinary folk art form.
