Learners will follow step-by-step origami lessons to create four different origami models related to Halloween. Models include a Skull, Standing jack O'Lantern, Blinking Monster Eye, and Vampire Lips. The project is paced for the origami artists folding along. Plus, learners can review the class recording and practice folding the origami they have learned. Some origami experience is recommended, but not required. While we fold, we will discuss our favorite things about Halloween.
This class meets for four sessions over two weeks. It begins with a brief slide presentation and discussion about origami. We will learn about the history of origami, and then observe and discuss an inspiring origami creation.
Hands-on project time follows our discussion. During class, I use two cameras. The second camera is above my workspace, so my hands and the project are always visible. To make folds easier to see, I mark each step on my model with a dotted line.
I am a compassionate teacher and I respect student artists’ varying skill levels and communication preferences. Learners may choose to engage in discussions, respond using chat, and/or share their artworks. Learners are encouraged to communicate in a way that is best for them. Art is all about individual expression!Learning Goals
Students will build their origami skills by using listening and observation skills to follow step-by-step directions for creating origami models.
Students will learn facts about the history of origami.
Students will view and discuss the work of contemporary paper artists.

Hi! I'm Ms. Karen and I teach sewing, drawing and painting here on Outschool.
I have a BA in Studio Art, and a current teaching certificate in Visual Arts and in Gifted Education. I have taught art in public and private schools from Pre-K to 12th grade for 20 years. Now, I teach on Outschool, and host paint parties!
Through my calm and positive instructional style, I encourage artists to engage in art making and trust their own ideas. I model being okay with making mistakes (they are a natural part of learning), trying new things, and sharing ideas. Including each learner in class discussion is important to me, because I want every learner who is in one of my classes to feel important and included.
I use two cameras to teach: one for my face, and one over my work space. Because students have a good view of what I am doing, it is easier for them to create!
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy my big animal family! My husband and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. Amazingly, they all get along. I like kayaking in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia where I live. I find observing nature endlessly fascinating, and enjoy seeing bald eagles, osprey and herons regularly.
One of the most interesting events in my life was when I spent time with the artist Christo at a dinner party. Talking with him was fascinating! He had so many stories of traveling and adventure to share.Reviews
