You can download Robert Lang’s TreeMaker software for free from his web site at http://www.langorigami.com/science/computational/treemaker/treemaker.php. Experiment with the software to develop an original origami pattern. Share the patterns and—if you’re feeling adventurous—challenge your classmates to follow the patterns and fold up the actual objects!Origami is just one of many art forms involving paper. Explore other paper art, and curate a collection of the pieces you like best. Identify a theme or thread that connects the pieces in your collection (beyond the fact that all of them are made out of paper).
