Origami, Collage and Paper Quilling
Origami, the ancient Japanese art of folding paper, is a fascinating and creative craft for kids. Through folding, origami uses numerous folds with fine attention to the detail. The value of Origami is not how fast or how many models can be completed, but rather practice patience and precision. Through practice, students will gain a better understanding of patterns, spatial relations and 3-D design elements. Paper Quilling is the art of rolling narrow strips of paper into coils or scrolls and arranging them to form elegant art. Students will learn how to use the tools to roll coils and scrolls then pinch, shape, and arrange then into decorative patterns.
