Definition
Paper folding is a forming technique that specifies creases, angular planes, and forms made from a sheet as one image-control axis. It does not determine subject, composition, era, or creator.
In more detail
The image is structured through creases, angular planes, and forms made from a sheet. Adjacent material, medium, process, and finished-appearance elements remain independently combinable, and named works or brands are outside its scope.
Includes
- creases, angular planes, and forms made from a sheet
Excludes
- A named creator, work, or brand
- Automatic choice of subject or composition
What this does not imply
- A particular subject, composition, or creator
Variability
Strength varies with accompanying medium, color, lighting, and detail directions.
Usage and adjustments
Usage
- Add after the subject as an independent visual axis
Distinguish similar expressions
- Specify adjacent material, medium, process, or finished appearance separately when needed
Typical uses
- People, animals, or landscapes with paper folding characteristics
Possible failure modes
- The label is treated decoratively without the defining visual traits
