This Presentation introduces the various forms of Paper Sculpture Art types. Being the most loved paper art of the world, Paper Sculpting has major applications in AstroPhysics, Astronomy and Space Exploration.

1. Paper Sculpture
 Paper sculpture, is an #artwork created by
shaping or combining different types of papers
that needs a great precision.
 Unlike Origami, #papersculptures are made
of several pieces of paper instead of one. And
for once, ”Paper” is the subject and everything
else are tools!

2. Kirigami
 Kirigami (切り紙) is a variation of origami that
includes cutting of the paper, rather than solely
folding the paper as is the case with origami,
but typically does not use glue.
 Simple #Kirigami are usually symmetrical,
such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid
blossoms.

3. Art of Origami
 Origami (折り紙, from ori meaning "folding",
and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to
gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper
folding, which is often associated with
Japanese culture.
 In modern usage, the word “Origami" is used
as an inclusive term for all folding practices,
regardless of their culture of origin.

4. Importance of Origami
 Origami is also important in teaching
symmetry; for many of the folds, whatever is
done to one side is done to the other.
 In addition, paper-folding allows students to
create and manipulate basic geometric shapes
such as squares, rectangles, and triangles.
 Scientific Usage of Origami – NASA is making
use of Origami concepts to make “solar
shields” and “Dyson Objects”; that can be
folded in rockets for future space projects.

5. Paper Cutting
 Transferring Your Design
 Use pencil to draw your design and be sure to
use bold, thick lines.
 Place your tracing paper face-down on the
reverse side of your cutting paper. Use a little
masking tape to hold it in place. ...
 Remove the tracing paper and reveal your
design.

6. Chinese Paper Cutting Style
 Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art
of Chinese Handicrafts.
 It originated from the 6th-century when women
used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings
onto their hair at the temples, and men used
them in sacred rituals.
 Later, they were used during festivals to
decorate gates and windows.

9. Paper Doll
 A paper doll is a two-dimensional figure drawn or
printed on paper for which accompanying clothing has
also been made. It may be a figure of a person,
animal or inanimate object.
 The term may be extended to include similar items
made of materials other than paper, such as plastic,
cloth, or wood.
 The term also may include three-dimensional dolls
and their costumes that are made exclusively of
paper. Collectors, sometimes extend their collections
to include other toys printed on paper, such as paper
airplanes, cars and trains, animals and birds, villages,
furniture and so on.

and are a combination of both three dimensional and two
dimensional art forms.

and stone columns of the ancient Greek and Roman
buildings and can still be seen today on many of famous
buildings, including the Colosseum.

architects.
 Relief sculptures were done with stone, marble, bronze
and many other substances.
