Different kinds of patterns are used in paper cuttings, like animals, plants, Chinese characters for health or good luck. What tools are used to make paper cuttings?Presentation:We usually use scissors, paper, pens and knifes to make paper cutting.中国剪纸是一种起始于公元六世纪，用剪刀或刻刀在纸上剪刻花纹，用于装点生活或配合其他民俗活动的民间艺术。 民间剪纸善于把多种物象组合在一起，并产生出理想中的美好结果。无论用一个或多个形象组合，皆是“以象寓意”“以意构象”来造型，而不是根据客观的自然形态来造型，同时，又善于用比兴的手法创造出来多种吉祥物，把约定成俗的形象组合起来表达自己的心理。追求吉祥的喻意成为意象组合的最终目的之一。地域的封闭和文化的局限，以及自然灾害等逆境的侵扰，激发了人们对美满幸福生活的渴求。人们祈求丰衣足食、人丁兴旺、健康长寿、万事如意，这种朴素的愿望，便借托剪纸传达出来。In groups, talk about this skill.
