This art activity focused on Japanese art, the folding of paper. We learned much about origami and its rich history. I found this activity to be interesting and definitely something new. I honesty never thought of origami as popular art, I thought of it more as a hobby. Therefore, it was neat for me to see it in the art form. I would definitely introduce my students to origami, especially when learning about art history or Japanese history. I also feel it would be beneficial to use a mentor book to introduce origami and meaning, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. However, I would have to be sure to make this lesson developmentally appropriate for the students. Creating origami and the story should be used with older students.
