Paper Cutting: Create Paper Scenes with Depth

Start by getting to know Argentine artist Noe Arata, who talks about how she entered into the world of paper cutting and her career so far. She also shares her main influences and sources of inspiration present in her work.

Next, Noe goes through the materials you need for your final project one by one and gives you a brief history of paper cutting.

See how to decide which story you want to tell and familiarize yourself with all the variables you need to consider to tell it in the best way possible. Once you've come to understand the language of paper cutting a little better, define your templates and transfer them to the paper.

Now comes the fun part... With all the preparation done, it's time to get cutting! Noe shows you tips and tricks for cutting all the lines, curves, and figures with absolute precision before teaching you how to build the two structures: the foldable pop-up and the outer cover.

Then join all the elements to bring your final pop-up scene to life. Finish off by looking at two mounting methods and some of the different applications for your pieces.
