Origami

The goal or art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.


Basic folds like valley and mountain folds, pleats, reverse folds, squash folds and sinks are among the basic techniques for origami creation.


Modular Origami

Modular Origami consists of putting a number of identical pieces together to form a complete model. Normally the individual pieces are simple but the final assembly may be tricky and complex looking.



 Origami Tesselations


These are examples of origami tessellations, whereby it has been made from a flat piece of paper which has been tilled and fills the plane with no gaps or overlaps.





Learning from this i can see that i could create quite  a simplistic shape and then duplicate it many times over to create a much bigger object which overall is much more complex
