A study on the integration mechanism between generative algorithms and paper-cutting art

This paper explores the integration mechanism between generative algorithms and traditional Chinese paper-cutting art. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in digital technology, generative algorithms have become an important tool in artistic creation, revitalizing paper-cutting art through the modernization of traditional artistic forms. Beginning with the shift in visual culture in the digital age, this paper analyzes how generative algorithms promote new modes of artistic expression. It then discusses the modern transformation of paper-cutting art, particularly focusing on the application and transformation of digital technologies and generative algorithms in paper-cutting design. Finally, using the design of theatrical characters in paper-cutting style as a case study, it compares the performance of different AIGC tools in generating traditional artistic symbols and examines the potential of generative algorithms in art education through curriculum practice. The study shows that generative algorithms not only improve the efficiency and diversity of traditional art creation but also provide ample space for its inheritance and innovation.
