Origami Facts

- The name origami comes from two Japanese words ‘ori‘(to fold) and ‘kami ‘(paper).
- The, kami,also means ‘spirit’ or ‘god’ and origami was first used only for religious ceremonies.
- The origami that we know today is greatly influenced by the master origami artist Yoshizawa Akira.

We talked about Vincent van Gogh in our last lesson and looked at one of his self-portraits. He painted many still life paintings like the one below. Remember a still life is not only a vase of flowers or a bowl of fruit. A still life can be anything that cannot move. Choose some of your favorite things or toys. Set them up so that they look well arranged to your eye. Draw a still life of your favorite things using whatever you have at home, pencils, crayons, or markers.
