Class Description:
Is cutting paper an art or a craft or just plain fun?
Images of multicultural traditions, Folk Art expressions, and contemporary examples will help to show how Papercutting has been a chosen medium/ art form for centuries. Participants will use scissors and Xacto knives to experience cutting techniques. From 2 – 2:30 p.m. participants will be guided to the GAP Museum on the second floor, before resuming hands-on activities. There will be optional projects to practice and take home at the end of the session.
