This beautifully illustrated guide to Chinese paper collage art demonstrates the techniques and philosophy behind this creative and fun art form. Paper collage art has a special charm. It can be as exquisite as oil painting or as freehand (xieyi) as ink wash painting. A paper collage art is a perfect mean to express humour and romance, demonstrate subjective perspectives and emotions, record special moments, and depict favourite scenes. Collage Art teaches you how to pick up some magazines, newspaper, and colour paper around you that are no longer needed and put your ideas onto a piece of paper. You can create some decorations for your desk, bedroom, office, as well as some collage crafts for your friends on festivals and weddings.

Reviews for Paper Collage Chinese Style: .

"""Since these techniques are appropriate for all skill levels and ages, many readers may enjoy sharing this book with their children (or their parents)."" —Library Journal ""Paper Collage Chinese Style provides an excellent intro to a niche papercraft, and a fascinating insight into Chinese papercrafting and artistic traditions."" —The Papercraft Post blog ""The book is divided into four chapters plus an introduction. In the introduction the concept of paper collage is explained. The introduction explains that the techniques in the book are based off of traditional Chinese painting. Chapter One explains the basics and creativity of paper collage and then Chapter Two discusses the materials, tools and basic techniques. Chapter Three and Chapter Four have projects!! … The projects get harder and more artistic as they go … They look so amazing! I love how easy the book makes it look and how creative you can be with the projects. I can imagine using them for framed art or to make special cards."" —Crafty Moms Share blog"
