Origami art

Origami has been around for a long time, and it has been one of our favorite hobbies in our childhood. You might remember the paper airplanes you made when you were bored in class or the paper fortune teller that was suppose to tell your fortune by a combination of numbers and colors. But what you don't know is that they are a form of modern art. Origami first originated from Japan, and it spread throughout the world as it gain popularity as a special form of art. This form of art bends and folds papers in a certain way such that it creates a three dimensional figure. Some origami figures require months and months of careful folding and bending to create. This form of art is so special because it is made of merely paper, thus anyone can do it. So next time you come across a piece of paper, try doing some art with it!

  3. I always love to make something with paper. I think it is very amazing how we turn a plain paper into something with great detail. I remember once I tried to fold a paper into a rose, sure it wasn't as pretty as it shown on the picture, but I still thought it was really awesome.
