The Art of Origami
This link will bring you to one of my favorite websites: Origami Me. The website posts a rich content of what you need to know about Origami.
Origami is the art of paper folding. The creation of Origami dates one thousand years ago, and yet is still well recognized in the society of modern arts. The fascinating part of Origami is that its output of all folds is extremely symmetric which has taught the folders the importance of learning the geometric principles and shapes.
Origami. me created a neat online community for their fans to exchange ideas and showcase their crafts. This site is artistically designed, yet still keeps the fundamental features of being an open channel to provide people with the wide variety of resources. Their goal is to provide the support for their members and at the same time to help to promote the artists by showing their great creations. You will also find many video tutorials on the website to learn the paper folding and become a master folder.
If you go to look at their collections under the Blog, some masterpieces are so amazing and could take your breath away. Because of the complexity of the folding techniques, most items require a designer and a master folder.
“Origami is a branch of art that only uses geometry, which is the same base for mechanical structures.” – Soroush Kamrava
Soroush has spoken the truth: Origami is the perfect coalition of art and engineering.
Hi Rui,
Thank you for sharing this inspiring link. I love how they offer something from beginner to the experts – illustrations, videos. It seems like they also have a community and blog posts to build the momentum and inspiration. In your opinion, would such websites be able to spark an interest or at least offer a starting point for future generations to learn about arts and crafts that have a rich and compelling history? Is anything more needed? If yes, what might that be?
