Session 1
An introduction to Tim’s paper cutting art and his influences followed by a look at traditional and contemporary paper cutting from around the world.
Practical session #1. This will introduce the students to simple paper folding and cutting using scissors. Techniques to develop greater creativity will be shown. Students will explore paper cutting using different sizes and kinds of paper.
Practical session #2. Paper cut design. Paper cuts require very careful design in order to make sure they do not fall apart. Students will design a paper cut with the emphasis being on creating a well-structured and imaginative design. This will also allow us to explore the effects of symmetry on the overall design.

Session 2
An introduction to the language of line and marks in paper cutting. There are certain lines and shapes artists use that are used to show light and dark, form, shape, line and texture.
Practical session #3. This session will introduce cutting with a knife. The students practice using a knife to cut out different kinds of lines and shapes.
(Optional Activity:- students design and cut their own butterfly design.)
Creative session: Students design and cut their own paper cuts. This is a very open activity where students work independently. Tim will provide consultation where necessary.
Wrap up activity: Students will display and share their paper cuts with the whole group. This will be done as a mini exhibition / discussion.
