Source #4 for FINAL

http://www.chinesefolkart.com/papercuts/bg.htm
1.chinesefolkart.com
2. It is information from the book, Arts and Crafts of China by Scott Minick and Jiao Ping
3. I searched the book and it is valid and thus it has valid credentials
4. This source is not directly about my topic chinese art itself because from the reseach I had done before i learned different types of chinese art and i have chosen from it and one of the cataegory is chinese folk art which includes paper cutting and that is what this source is about. It gives a small history/ background information on paper cutting. It also shows an exmaple and a person who does it. It also has links to look at examples of paper cutting and also why is such a value in China. I tells how papercutting is used as designs on windows, mirrors, walls etc..One of hte most times you see it is during Chinese New Year and other holidays and festivals
5.Yes because it is valid website and the information in it, i have actually seen in movies and my friends who are Chinese have talked about and shown it to me.
