1. Where did it come from? polish wycinanki (pronounced vee-chee-non-kee) became a popular folk craft in the mid-1800s when shepherds would cut designs out of bark and leather. This then evolved into colourful works of art drawn on furniture or roof beams as decoration, hung in windows, and given as gifts. Nowadays the pattern is popular across the globe, and even though you probably haven't heard the name before, you'll definitely recognise the pattern! 2. How has it developed?
Wycinanki: Polish Folkart for Kids
so i've been trying to design a rooster project. Last year i gave you a brief introduction to wycinanki or polish paper friezes. The rooster is a very traditional design. In this post i'll give you directions and the templates for this design(probably grade 4 and up).
If you are teaching younger grades keep reading as i have some easy variations for you to try. Now with wycinanki it is usually cut out of 1 piece of paper and all connected. I cheat, cutting in sections, and then pasting together. It's just easier for the kids this way, no need for xacto blades.
