There are many
ways for the artists to express our idea and feeling through their art works.
Papercraft is one of the interesting art way to express idea and feeling, which
is included in visual art.
Papercrat is when
the artist use the paper to create their artwork. There are many kinds of
papercraft which are very interesting and need a skillful hand and a creative
brain. Artist can cut papers, glue them, or fold them to make an object or
create a picture. The reason why I think papercraft is very interesting is
because for me, I think the artworks that made from paper have more dimension
and look more realistic.

On of the
papercraft artist that inspires me is Hoang Tien Quyet. He is a professional
papercraft artist who use the papers and fold them to make a creature such as
animal or human, which called “Origami”. This artist is significant when he use
the wet paper and fold them, so that the outline will look more active and
softer, and he also create the wavy for the animal by using wet paper. When we
use normal papers to fold, there will be many sharp angels and most of them are
straight line, which make the artwork looks hard inactive. Therefore, Quyet
uses a technique of wet paper folding to make his artworks which allows curves
instead of straight line, so that they will look more realistic.
Hoang Tien Quyet
inspires me because his artworks remind me of my childhood when I usually use
papers and fold them with my dad to create something. I’m very interested in
folding papers to make things when I was young since I think that it is the only
way for me to create an object beside drawing. I also had some of the Origami
tutorial books of Hoang Tien Quyet. When I see his new technique of Origami wet-folding,
it give me a soft feeling toward his artworks due to the curves and rounded
quality of his artwork. Quyet also inspires me by his skillfulness, meticulousity
and hard working because when the paper is not wet enough, it will be dry
before he folds it, but if it is too wet, the paper can be ripped or it will stick with other piece of paper. Therefore, I can see his effort and
indulgence that he puts into his artworks, and I really like it.
