Paper Art level, over 1000.

Hello fellow readers (: for our most recent assingment, we were assigned to do paper cutouts based on 2 layouts, BALANCE and SYMETRICAL (: Our assignments seem simple but not really, though they are fun. it makes you feel like you're in kindergarten again :D anyways, here is an example of what were supposed to do, but our original creation.

SYMMETRICAL

So here are a few examples of the symmetrical form

as you can see, the one in the centre is different from the

other examples because it has many different layers of cutouts,thus making it colourful. the one on the top was done using white paper, it was folded so both sides would have an equal cutting.

                                                                                                              

This is  another example of symmetry use where 

ducks were used as the subject . Here, a brown and 

crumpled paper was used to give an effect. 

A hole puncher was used aswell for the eyes.

DOMINANCE

As you can see, there is no symmetrical proportions in this 

example but there is Dominance from the bird house to the trees the kids playing.

therefore a balnced cutout. the balance is also produced from the non-cutout areas of the piece.

MY WORK in progress form

For this assignment, i have chosen to do wings. more specifically, angel wings for the balance and an angel for the the dominance. i was not satisfied with my over work so far so i decide to throw in a female face with flying hair as the balanced. here is my work so far (:

Here is one side of my angel wing for symmetry. this is after cutout and stenciling (: my next   phase would be to fold the paper in half and to outline the cutout to give the almost perfect  mirror image. After cutout, it would be an angel without a body. TADA (:

Below is what the final piece looks like without mounting. Both cutout and simple looking thougt it took roughly an hour.

For my balance piece, i decide to do an actual god like angel. t would be slightly difficult as this figure has muscle and curved body. Even to give the wings shape would mean to cutout a lot. challenging but the turnout would be great (:

As you can see, my design are sketched before i etched them. For this piece, i was sketching wings t and the body and ACCIDENTLY ended up with an idea to use this as one of my pieces (:

For my new piece on balance, i decide to do a cutout on a girl with hair flying around, reason being it would take up the page giving more detail and when cutout, the image would be understandable (: This is another difficult piece to cutout because of the hair, to get the form would  mean to cut a lot, i repeat, alot. But i believe i can make it look easy, 'even simple lines lead to great designs' as i have mentioned in my previous posts (:

Here is a rough idea of what the final designs look like.the lady on the top and the God, below. as you can see, the wings of the god were made by cuting out random shapes to give that final figure of a wing. Same goes for the hair for the woman (:
