This demonstration shows you some ways to use Geogebra (www.geogebra.org) to design, draw and animate origami.
The example images show some of the possibilities. In this session you will see some of the techniques used. View and edit these and more example files at https://www.geogebra.org/u/tung+ken+lam
This modular origami kusudama has pretty petals, that look solid. It is relatively easy to fold, with a strong and stable connection that does not require glue. It can be assembled in all sorts of solids, with 6, 12 and 30 being the most convenient.
My latest version on an action flower, that can pop out of your hands with a surprising jump
This module is the most robust unit I ever saw, to a level you can play soccer with it! No glue is needed.
The same module can produce a beautiful kusudama as well!
I will teach the basics of tessellations, what makes them work, and teach two models from my new tessellation book - Diamond and Asymmetric-Diamond tessellations.
We start with a single molecule and proceed to fold 2 by 2 projects from each molecule.
This Grim Reaper is both scary and cute! It is from a single square using the classic Frog Base. There is a bit of pulling flaps out and wrapping layers around, so you should be comfortable with steps like that.
This Electric Guitar is based on the classic Fender Stratocaster. This model is a great excuse to use foil paper, but kami works too. Lots of interesting asymmetrical folds in this one.
This Santa Claus is from a modified Bird Base with a few interesting squash folds thrown in. He is designed to be flat to be used on a card, but can also be used an an ornament. It is from a difficult to obtain book - Origami Around the World (published only in Italy and France).
This Seahorse sports color contrasting eyes and fins. It also has a few pleats along the body that are NOT formed by pleating. There are quite a few fun sequences in making this model. You should be comfortable with sinks and squash folds.
This geometric, three-dimensional bull is folded from one square. It includes a color change on the horns if you're using duo paper.
This is a quick to fold Unicorn, with some original steps. The model was designed to be very feasible to fold for the average origamists (intermediate difficulty) avoiding complicated procedures. The design does not acumulate many layers, so it's good to fold also with small papers, even ticket bills.
Let's fold 2 beautiful dishes....a Cherry Blossom and a Dandelion dish. Both were designed by the talented and dear Shoko Aoyagi sensei
Three origami food models will be taught::
Pretzel, Banana and a Pizza Slice
All are from a difficult to obtain book - Origami Around the World (published only in Italy and France)
