Their Art teacher explained that "Paper cuts orginated in ancient China, but are still popular today. With the help of Photoshop to manipulate their photographs, students used three sheets of paper that were light, medium, and dark colors or tones. Each shape was cut out using exacto knives and glue sticks to create a beautiful high-contrast self-portrait."
Heather wondered if she would ever finish. Most of the students had dark hair, so their hair came out one solid color. Heather's lighter hair caught the light and created much more work for her (aka, lots of little pieces!). It must have been worth the effort because her paper cut was selected for inclusion in the 2012 Art calendar the school produces. Congratulations, Heather!
It looks just like her!

Is she entering it in Youth Olympics? She really should!!
Heather actually has several pieces she is considering for submission, including a cheetah she drew. Her teacher is very familiar with Youth Olympics and said she will help Heather select her best work when the time comes.
