Scherenschnitte



A few years ago we took a trip to Colonial Williamsburg and I had the opportunity to take a scherenschnitte workshop. While I had usually taught paper cutting through Mexican Papel Picado, it was hard to ignore the natural tie ins to Pennsylvania Dutch culture for this PA art teacher. You can read about the workshop in the original post here.



Fourth and fifth grade have had great success with this project and it's now available with the powerpoint I share with my own students.



We started with a powerpoint of some amazing contemporary artists like kiri ken for inspiration.
How do you teach paper cutting with your students?
