The goal of this project series is to tell the stories of species extinction, the interconnectivity of various life forms, and the art of living together by creating a multi-media presentation using a combination of traditional Chinese papercut, watercolor, poetry, video, and digital animation. Create your own style of storytelling using any combination of these mediums!

Workshop Materials List:
1. Chinese white or red rice paper OR tissue paper

2. A pair of pointy scissors

3. Any watercolor/ watercolor set (optional- only if you are interested in coloring your papercuts.)

About the Teacher:
