- Abstract
- This paper explores the origins and evolution of the paper cutting art, as well as its impact on contemporary illustration. Paper cutting is defined by engraving, carving, and pattern design on flat material. It has an extensive history universally but especially in the Western Zhou Dynasty, China.
- Before the invention of paper, societies used leaves, silk, bone, wood, and gold foil to make the engraved designs. This qualifying paper will discuss the possibility of adapting paper cutting to contemporary illustration art by comparing the difference between regional cultural aspects and the traditional, modern aspects in paper cutting. In addition, some artists' works will be analyzed to explore the application of paper cutting elements in modern illustration.
