Paper Craft: Collage

Introduction:

Overview

This Open Toolkit stimulates participants’ creativity and improves their craft skills and shape control. Create animals from paper-based materials and different craft designs such as collage, folding, and paper cutting.

 

Goals: 

1、This Open Toolkit will stimulate participants’ creativity and develop their manual skills and modeling control.

2、Improve your papercraft skills and experience the joy of creating beauty by using waste paper (old newspapers, old magazines, etc.) around you to design and make animals using paper and collage techniques.

 

Expectations

I believe that everyone has come into contact with animals, every life deserves to be treated kindly and it is everyone’s responsibility to care for animals, and I would like to promote this theme through this Open Toolkit. Participants can explore and stimulate their creativity in this open-ended toolkit by designing, collaging, cutting, and making animals by hand using paper as a base.
