The future will reveal newer directions for more people to explore and find their particular interest. More people are involved, more ideas have been explored, all with more styles and techniques. In the past few decades, origami has made huge developments in many directions. What new directions do you think the art of origami will be taking in the future? But I will admit that I do not use origami as part of the math lesson! Or we have some days, such as before vacations, where we do origami. Even if math was used in the design of a model, the folder need not understand it.Īs a teacher, do you integrate origami into your lesson plans?Īs a math teacher, I can say students love doing origami! Sometimes, if my students finish their class work early, I let them fold from my books. Still, math is not essential and there are many aspects of origami that do not use math. Math is especially used in my Dover books Origami and Math and Classic Polyhedra Origami. in the structure of folding which can be used to develop and control the folding methods and designs. There is much math - geometry, algebra, trigonometry, etc. Now I can say that developing new, theme-related ideas and writing books gives me inspiration.ĭo you think that there is a strong relationship between origami and mathematics? In time, my work evolved as I discovered more techniques, and also philosophies, in the quality of origami. There was nothing great about my models, but I enjoyed exploring and found there was no end. Whatever I wanted to fold, I would make up. Since I started as a child, "creating" was natural. We have never had any origami model with any epic-too-hard-to-make. A small note, the tutorials posted here are never 'too hard', if you're willing and patient, most people can fold along. Not too hard, but not easy either, you'll find some fancy boxes, stars and pretty flowers among other things that will take some mental effort here. I wanted to make origami where each model could be folded from a single uncut square so I had to make them up. View all of Paper Kawaii's Advanced Origami tutorials.
The models in the books were made by folding, cutting, using multiple sheets, and sometimes from non-square paper. Where do you find the inspiration for your original models? At six, I had some books, showing the Japanese style. I was four when a Japanese neighbor taught me origami. How did you first get interested in origami and what were your influences? Montroll to discuss his influences, the impact of math on origami, and what he sees for the future of the artform. 5 Questions with John Montroll: An Exclusive Dover Interview
