Paper sculpture is an art form that involves creating three-dimensional objects using paper as the primary material. Artists manipulate paper through techniques such as folding, cutting, and gluing to produce intricate designs and shapes. This medium allows for a wide range of artistic expression, from simple forms to complex structures.
The process of making paper sculptures can include various styles, such as origami, which focuses on folding, or papercraft, which often involves assembling cut pieces. Artists may use different types of paper, including cardstock or recycled paper, to achieve desired textures and effects in their work.
