折り紙アート：レベル 2 (折り紙のしおり)

During this course, students will be guided step-by-step to create their own Origami bookmarks. Students will use their hands to follow a specific set of steps both verbal, visual and textual prompts in a sequence (procedural text) to develop cognitive development and fine motor skills. Origami fosters a positive growth mindset. Children set a goal and work hard to achieve a visible result.

Students are transforming a 2-dimensional square piece of paper into a 3-dimensional object while developing spatial awareness. Project will begin at the basic level of the four primary folding techniques, moving to creating a medium level difficulty project (such as, koala, unicorn, flower, heart, and butterfly). Students will need scissors, ruler, markers or colored pencils, square colored, or plain paper (approximately 6in x 6in or 8.5 by 8.5). Paper can be cut from standard 8.5 x 11 paper or Origami paper can be purchased at a local craft store or on Amazon (Amazon Basics Origami Paper, Assorted Colors, 200 Sheets for about $7.00). If possible, please pre-cut or purchase at least six, 6in x 6in or 8.5in x8.5in squares to be used during class. Size doesn't matter but the paper must be a square. A parent may need to be available to assist younger students, students who struggle with following directions, or frustrate easily. Origami can be challenging.
