The Art of Origami Part 2
The book "Origami Art" has taught me a lot. Michael G. Lafosse and Richard L. Alexander have very descriptive information about the techniques that are provided when making origami. The authors say that " Origami art as a recent development is indeed a strange type of art." (Lasfosse, Alexander, 6). I understand where they are coming from when that say this since at first it may seem odd when you are able to create something from paper without glue or tape.
For my 2nd post I've created a Mudarri Luna Moth."The Luna Moth is an exquisite creature. The vibrant color and slender hind wings seem much too showy for an animal that is active only at night." When i created this moth i used floral print origami paper so then the moth wouldn't look so plain like the previous flower i created. Compared to the flower i made before this was slightly more complicated due to the precise folds that are provided, but it was fun to make. I was happy with the outcome because it turned out looking just like the photo.
What would you make out of paper?
