Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. ‘Ori’ is Japanese for folding and ‘kami’ is Japanese for paper. However, Origami originally started in China. In 100 AD the Chinese invented paper and the invention spread to Japan around 600 AD along with the art of paper folding. Due to the scarcity of paper, Origami in ancient times was used only at special occasions. The paper was formed into animals, costumed people and ceremonial designs with special meanings to them. The forms where often, but not always, made from square pieces of paper, and always a single sheet. Follow the instructions or watch the video to make an Origami tulip or lotus flower. Remember to email a photograph of your flowers to class3stb@lbva.org.uk or upload them to our class blog.
