Traditional folk art is an important part of our national culture, and it is our duty to keep it 5. Last month, our school held a "Folk Art Week" and invited five experienced local artists to give us special lessons. In the paper cutting class, the artist taught us some 6 cutting methods first, and then showed us how to make complex patterns like dragons and phoenixes. With patient guidance, we all mastered these useful 7 after two hours of practice. To share our achievements, our class decided to make a folk art wall in the school hall. Next week, we will also 8 the coming Spring Festival by putting up our paper cutting works and holding a small folk art show. We hope these activities can let more students feel the beauty of traditional culture and join us in protecting it.
