Paper Magic - an intriguing form of art performed by cutting paper with a magical twist!

Paper is a very flexible medium. We can use the paper not only for giving our ideas and feelings, but also use as an expressive medium for creative artworks.You will learn to create illusion art through twisted curves of geometrical shapes, where paper is cut, folded, and painted on the way to being transformed into a piece of art, all using paper as a medium.
