Food for thought: Why use an image? Why is the image of a heart more compelling and accessible than the word "love?"

6th Grade Origami Exploration
The 6th graders explored the art of origami. Inspired by the documentary "Between the Folds," students set out to master their favorite origami folding pattern.
Some students found directions in a book in the art room.
Others found YouTube to be a valuable source for finding and providing good directions to the origami patterns not in the books available in the art room.
Still others looked up origami on iPad apps! We found many different ways to explore available origami patterns as well as good directions!
After mastering an origami folding pattern, students wrote their own version of the directions!
Now students are working on creating videos that will demonstrate their origami pattern. Once complete, they will use editing features on iMovie to create a voiceover of their directions! Watch for the "How to Origami Videos" on the DeWitt Art Studio YouTube Channel!
*YouTube Channel coming soon :)

I found this beautiful piece online without a credit. This reminded me of the radial symmetry name design project just completed. Can you find the reflective symmetry?

Another Chuck Close style work. Notice the changing color schemes that reflect the VALUE he is trying to convey.
