This week I spent some time looking up background information on origami and looking for different ways to approach learning it. So far, I have only really used the guide that came with the paper, and it was not a particularly enjoyable experience. Admittedly, it was quite a cheap stack of origami paper so I should not expect much, but I did find that the guide lacked detail and was hard to follow even though I was just following basic designs. I think trying to represent a 3d object in 2d space is not particularly conducive to learning this art. I have a strong feeling that direct instruction and video tutorials will be more effective, but I will start testing that out for my next inquiry post.

I enjoyed creating this Canva graphic for this post – this was my third time using that particular tool and I feel like I am a lot quicker with it now. My main issue is finding templates I like, so if anyone has any suggestions for how to sort through the templates more efficiently, let me know!
