silhouette
The cutting of the scissors is an artisanal process and at the same time the name for its result. In this case, paper or another flat material is processed by means of scissors or special cutting instruments in such a way that either the remaining outline or the cut-outs or both give an illustrative image which can be realistic or schematic. There are: ▪ The classic silhouette, in which an unfolded sheet is cut. These shear cuts are mostly black and are shown in front of a contrasting light background. If they are bright, they are shown in front of a contrasting dark background. ▪ the folding cutting technique, in which a leaf folded into halves, quarters or even smaller parts is trimmed. After unfolding the processed paper template, a single or multiple axially symmetric image results. The scissors section, originally located in North China, is one of the oldest folk arts in China. After the turn of the century, he had lost importance as glass replaced the window paper to which she was attached.
