Straw Picture is traditional Chinese handicraft made in wheat straws. Its uniqueness and characteristics are shown by ingenious application of natural features of wheat straws such as golden color, natural sheen and texture, taking into account of brightness, shade, thickness and spacing of straws, making appropriate overall arrangement of picture composition. To get a piece of finished artwork, dozens of technical procedures need to be processed by hand, such as engraving, polishing, fulling, dissection, evaporation, torrefaction, ironing, coloring up, cut and paste, inlay, and so on. The artistic techniques used in straw artwork are borrowed from many other art forms such as paper cut, print, pyrograph, paste, painting, etc. All these techniques bring rich expressiveness in straw painting, making it a unique art form with artistic features of primitive, lifelike, and elegant tastes.
The material used in straw patchwork is eco-friendly, safe and unpolluted. Finished artwork is easily conserved without color fading, distortion, going moldy, and being worm-eaten. Straw painting is gradually getting appreciated and becoming a new pursuit for art collectors. It is also used in decorations in public places and private families. as well known The Great Hall of the People and the Memorial Hall of Asian Olympic Village in Beijing, and the City Hall of Berlin in Germany all have straw patchwork displayed.
