Spotlight on Art
Students learned about origami and explored the stories artists tell through their folded paper sculptures. They chose at least 3 origami patterns and created 8 of each with different color schemes. Then the pieces were assembled in a radial (like a flower or wheel) symmetry pattern and glued to the backing to create a low relief sculpture.
