Читать книгу Trash Origami - Michael G. LaFosse - Страница 12

INTRODUCTION

We all discard materials that could provide a rich bounty of possibilities to the origami artist, if given the chance. In fact, trash to most is free paper to the origami artist! Which pieces of “trash” can be, or should be repurposed by folding? Which origami models are appropriate for the most typical types of discarded papers and packaging?

Origami artists and authors, Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander present 25 origami projects from the Origamido Studio, as well as some created by the world’s best paper folding designers. All of these projects are clearly demonstrated in the Bonus Material. Use “pause,” “play,” “forward,” or “back” controls to view or review any part of a lesson at your own pace. It’s like having private origami lessons from a master!

Some of these models were selected for the young folder who may have little or no previous folding experience. Others may appeal to the more experienced or sophisticated folder, making the book wonderful for family get-togethers, home schooling, and other, fun, sharing and teaching opportunities.

Sometimes people who appreciate origami purchase origami books or kits, but get too frustrated by the drawings before completing any of the models. Use the video instructions to better understand what the diagrams mean! In this way, this book and the Bonus Material will convert those other, unused origami books into newfound fun. So many of our origami video customers have thanked us for helping their dusty, older, unused or underused origami books and kits come alive.

Most schools have less money to purchase art supplies than they had in previous years, but there may be more to learn from reusing materials we would otherwise throw away without a second thought. Get ready to look at the contents of your wastebaskets and recycling bins with a different sensibility. There’s hours of fun and creative potential represented by FREE PAPER! Fold your trash into a treasure of pleasure!
