A fabulous object lesson on visual media was presented in class last week by one of the groups. We learned to make a lotus flower out of a folded napkin either by video, audio, screen shots, or text. I am no paper folder, but I can see how two medias do a better job than one at teaching a procedure. I wonder if the same results would be evident if the content was more conceptual, rather than procedural. Anyhow, I can see why my son enjoys origami so much!

I watched a Frontline episode last night about the science and art of origami, it was really interesting. Between the Folds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE4lqYzS2m0
ReplyDeleteThere is now software to help design fold patterns specifically origami which by the way is used in things like airbags that need to compact to a specific shape.
