I made a couple of paper dolls which is clothing Corean traditional cloth. They are called “Han-bok”. Back in 10 century to 19 century, Coreans wore “Han-bok”. However, as people seek for conveniences, they stop wearing them in 1970’s which is quite recent. Its origin is from Chain’s cloth, but Coreans changed as they continue to live on with it which now became ‘Han-bok”. We sometimes wear them in an important days like 1st of January, Chuseok, bid holidays in Corea. To explain our culture, I had to learn my own culture, the history of them, what colour will match perfectly etc. As part of creativity, I made them, and as the part of service, I explained the culture to my French teacher with the example of these paper dolls.
There are several of colors and shapes. How many colors in a cloth tells the social positions and it much expensive than one colored “Han-bok.”I've developed my skill further more, of origami to make these dolls: folding, cutting, pasting the papers as well as the choice of the color papers. I made my own plan, which means I didn't follow the instructions but used my own instruction; a single way of making a tree, and i developed it into a doll. I was proud my self to make the tree into dolls as well as happy to find my new skills, which is creating something out of completely unexpected thing.
