紙娃娃：嶄新的藝術創意
本期專題

Paper Child is a new， strange and almost inexplainable[無法解釋的] phenomenon[現象]. Probably grown out of the miniaturization[微型設計] fetish[迷戀]， it involves humans interacting with smaller， childlike paper cutouts[剪下來的東西] to create interesting photos. Its existence and popularity have spreaded through artistic sharing sites like deviantart.com. There you can find many paper child artists of various degrees of skills.
Grown out of anime or manga[日本漫畫] culture， paper children first became popular in Japan and Korea. They can look like just about anything. But most are small， humanlike figures. Surreal[超現實的] and mesmerizing[迷人的]， some are sweet and some are drawn pictures of popular anime or cultural characters.
“紙娃娃”是一個奇妙的新玩意，也挺難說清楚的。這個創意大約是從小型玩偶演變而來的——真人與孩子氣的小紙片人兒進行互動，從而拍出有趣的照片。其產生與人氣通過這樣的藝術分享網站傳播開來。你可以在那裏找到許多水平各異的紙娃娃藝術家。
從動漫文化衍生而來的紙娃娃最初流行於日本與韓國。這些娃娃千姿百態，不過大多還是小人兒。它們非常超現實，特別讓人著迷，有些是可愛係的，有些則是根據人氣動畫或者其他流行文化所畫的角色。
Pimmy’s Paper Child Tutorial[教程]跟皮米學做紙娃娃
Step 1： Think of an idea！ Think of an idea to use as a pose for your paper child.
第一步：構思點子！為你的紙娃娃構思一個動作姿勢。
Step 2： Draw it！ Sketch[繪畫] this idea onto card stock making the character about the size of your hand， and plan finger placement ahead of time if you intend to use it to interact with you.
第二步：畫下來！在卡紙上將你的點子畫出來，人物要和你的手差不多大；如果你準備和它進行互動的話，還要提前想好手指的位置。
Step 3： Cut it out！ Very carefully cut along the edges of the drawing with scissors. It’s up to you how thick the outline should be. Basically， anything “behind” your hand should be cut away. Don’t leave the white edges here.
