Wings by Marilyn, grade 6
Inspired by the Independent Lens documentary Between the Folds, we worked with the most basic of materials, paper, to express what we know about the world around us.
I put away the origami books, so that the students would just fold and crumple and crease, to discover what the paper could do and what it could tell us.
We folded for over an hour, working quietly. The result: a collection of new and inspiring forms, a renewed interest in origami, and some beautiful sculpture to hang in the art space.

This folded bird project is really beautiful. Thanks for the PBS link as well.
This is a fantastic deco! I’d like to try it at home one day. Thank you for sharing this, auntie Linda..
