Hi Anitra,
If you wanted to invite drawing-into with the colored paper cut-out book, you might pose the question “what do these holes or shapes make you think of?” That could be a jumping off point for imagining a story.

Sometimes when we talk with kids about artist books we show examples of sculptural books. We ask students how they might display their books so that they have interest from every side. I’m assuming you’re working with students, so maybe you could ask them what they would like to do with their cut out books? If you’re just making them for yourself, try all your ideas!

Thanks for your questions!

i loved the color paper cut out book! after making it, i wanted to take it to another level, something “to do with it” sort of. I am not sure if drawings inside would work, i am concerned about changing the aesthetic of the color and the cut outs. Any thoughts, many thanks!

ps or maybe someway of displaying it as a paper cut out sculpture
