Fear | paper art by Margaret Scrinkl

Making the cut

When joining the MA online illustration course, in the practice 1 module we were tasked to do an introductory project of sorts, a way to get to know us if you will. The task was to create artwork out of paper; however, we are unable to draw or paint on the paper, but I could be any colour. We were given 2 weeks to complete the project, so I decided to get to work. 

I had heard of art being created out of paper in the past, more specifically the term known as ‘psaligraphy’ which is the art of cutting silhouettes, typically out of paper (Collins, 2022). I had come across this after seeing examples of Karen Bit Vejle work, as well as the more widely known art of paper folding known as ‘origami’ originating from Japan, the word Origami literally translating to: folded paper (Megahed, 2017).

The art of paper cutting is believed to have originated from China as that is where paper was invented, although it has played such as role in Chinas history, due to the lack of the newer generation carrying on this traditionit has been included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists (ANON, n.d.), giving us an idea to the importance of this tradition in China. Paper cutting seems to have made a presence in many places in the world ever since the invention of paper, such examples being papel picado in Mexico and Scherenschnitte in Germany. Paper is not only being used for art but for emergency shelters by architect Shigeru Ban (Saval, 2018) who has made several shelters out of paper tubes (Emergency Shelters Made From Paper, 2013), showing papers versatility.

The use of paper as the main medium was foreign territory for me as I am so used to creating art on paper, not with paper, but I was more excited than anything and began looking at several paper artists for inspiration in order make this project a lot less intimidating. I found many artists to look at such as Malin Koort who creates fun and interesting characters with paper and Margaret Scrinkl who’s work I found quite enjoyable to look at and found that when looking at the way she uses paper made me more inclined to cut paper without fearing of making a mistake 

I found Scrinkl’s work to be the most intriguing, their way to be able to make an almost humble and everyday material such as paper look exciting and fresh intrigued me. Her work is easily digestible to view and process to anyone looking at it, but it isn’t boring. I decided to take inspiration from her work and apply to my own attempt. I chose to take much inspiration from Scrinkl’s method of working as she uses paper in many of her works, particularly her non-animated flat works were quite approachable and simple for a total beginner. So I set out to work.

Trick or Treat (Scrinkl 2022)

Due to the project being set in October I decided to go with a Halloween themed work of ghosts floating in a cemetery. I would say for a first attempt I was unusually pleased with myself and believe that maybe because I created this with my mindset of learning rather than wanting to create the best piece in the world and I found myself in a better and happier mindset after finishing the project. Drake and her colleagues found in their study that not only did creating works of art to distract improve mood but their participants found that after consistent days of drawing their score on a life satisfaction scale was higher than before they began the experiment (Drake, et al., 2016). 

Ghost Party (Brown 2022)

When I first began my journey to become an illustrator I believed that the only way to create art was to take paint, pen or pencil to paper, however the longer I continue this journey the more I am exposed to the world of art as a whole and how diverse it is and the ways and mediums artist decided to use to show their creativity.

Through the project I have realised that I am capable of showing my creativity in other mediums other than pen, although paper cutting is quite tedious and time consuming I do believe it helps me think outside of the box as I do have a tendency to live in my sketchbook.

This type of art has sparked my interest and I do believe I will continue to apply it to my practice especially when I find myself stuck for ideas.

Observing and researching stop motion animations

I chose to watch some stop motion animations on Vimeo to observe and understand how other people animate, how it differs from my own work and to learn any techniques they display. 

Popcorn by Margaret Scrinkl

https://vimeo.com/251819313

Looking at this stop motion I have observed that it follows the many tips and tricks presented in the stop motion tutorials i’ve watched, it has a steady camera and consistent lighting throughout the video. I quite liked how the animation was made with the intent to loop from replaying the video, I am also impressed on how steady both the corn and the plate was as the string would be moved a lot along side the paper cut i assumed flame that travelled as well as switched flame through the animation which was an impressive feat.

Stop Motion Animation by Jilmar Altamirano

https://vimeo.com/102435491

I found this animation very impressive as such a smooth animation with a large model. The physics of the model felt realistic; The throwing model looked as if it really threw the ball with incredible force while looking as smooth as it is, which must be such a long task as there are a lot of limbs taking movement when the ball is thrown. The victim model that got hit was excellently done as with the accompanied sound of it being hit to the trump sound it makes when fallen to the ground. The ball shown had some stretch when travelling which expresses the fact it was moving in top speeds was a nice touch, even if it didn't have the stretch the fact that it properly looked like the ball was in mid air was quite the feat in itself. 

Conclusion: 

Both animations I’ve examined are of a high quality I wish to be able to achieve myself with more practice, I believe that the popcorn animation seems like something I could reach for with the right equipment while the ball animation is something that I would need a better understanding of the human body in order to produce an animation of a similar scale.

Charmingly Sweet Paper Art

Scrinkl’s artwork is a series of innocent portrayals of love and life that celebrate the tender moments expressed in paper craft. Her cartoonish style approaches the medium with basic shapes and arrangement, with bright colours to add energy to each scene. The basis of her art supports her animation projects, which uses techniques such as stop motion which become perfectly composed stories seen through paper characters. Paper, in its own right a severely under credited medium of art, becomes the joy and vitality behind simple yet beautiful art.

Stopmotion

22/02/22

As I wasn’t happy with my claymation i decided to do this short animation instead. I don’t have a tripod so its not as steady as i wanted. I think its an interesting way to incorporate fashion into animation . I designed something similar a few weeks ba k and i thought it would be cool to visualise this and use the rose to achieve this.

I was inspired by this stop motion animation ‘ flowers ice cream’ by Margaret Scrinkl . This stop-motion captures the flowers moving onto an cone to change it into an ice cream. I like this as it takes one form and changes into another quite like my animation of a flower becoming an outfit.

I Made Hundreds Of Paper Plants To Bring Spring Closer, Or Paper World

I Made Hundreds Of Paper Plants To Bring Spring Closer, Or Paper World

I’m Margaret Scrinkl, newspaper artist and stop motion animator from Russia.

Paper is one of my favorite material for work. I like generate my own tiny world employing paper layers and texture.

I am inspired by nature and pop culture, so I combined them and made a series of blooming social media logos. It gives me an infinite sense of springtime. Cutting hundreds of plants is like meditation for…
