The Art Of Origami part 4

The Art of Origami part 4

For my 4th post i made a bird. In my previous post i would say that the origami i was trying to make was complex and difficult, although i did some research on the types of folds i would not understand. It took some time to understand the folds but it was worth it. As i read the book i notice that the authors also struggled at first, "Each had been frustrated by the simplicity of the traditional models" (Lafosse, Alexander). So this then made me realize that origami is frustrating to all but not impossible to create. 

When i made this bird i didn't use anything special like different paper. I decided to keep it plain in simple. The authors Lafosse and Alexander consider the bird a graceful creature considering they describe it as "the most elegant perched birds" (Alexander, Lafosse). This was very simple but creative due to the pleasant outcome. All in all i say this was one of the origami projects that has a smooth process.



If you were to make something out of paper what type or print or pattern would the paper have?

  1. Hey Krislyn, I definitely agree that origami can some times be difficult but not impossible. So currently I'm using sticky notes instead of traditional origami paper but I would definitely use regular origami paper with a striped pattern so it'll be easier to see fold
