“One Square No cut No glue” Amazing World Of Origami Art You could be creative too just like a person who spends his free time by making sculptures through folding paper! Yes, it is as simple as that. It has infinite potentiality if you have the right kind of zeal for becoming a creative paper Sculptor! You would not need much to embark on this journey if you consider that your both hands are dexterous enough and you have some basic knowledge of geometry! I guess that you could have imagined by this time what I want to tell you! Yes, dear friend, I am trying to tell you about Origami that could keep you busy during your free time in pursuit of boundless pleasure! What does Origami exactly mean? Origami is a Japanese word! “Ori”, means “fold” in English. And “kami” means 'paper' in plain English. Therefore, Origami is nothing but a concept to create objects by folding a sheet of paper with no cut or glue! In other words, a typical Origami sculpture is built up on folds without using scissors or glue. It is an ancient form of art practiced in Japan. It does not require any other tools except a pair of dexterous hands. Most origami models usually begin with a specific type of base. The rest of the model develops from this base. Needless to mention here that origami art has unlimited possibilities! The history of origami spreads over centuries in the past. The first models were simple and stylized! However, it is no longer so. Origami has now turned into an art form that can create highly sophisticated, complex and technical models. The theme, “one square, no cut, no glue” is still being followed by the professional origami artists around the world while producing a highly spectacular origami sculpture! A professional origami sculptor must know how to implant life into the paper before attempting to produce a spectacular object! “Origami is very difficult”, said Eric Joisel, one of the finest origami masters in the world. He has also added, "When people ask how long it takes me to make a sculpture I say '35 years', because that is how long it's taken me to get to this level." However, Mahmud Hasan Reaz, a university student of architecture and a local origami sculptor of repute, looks at it a bit differently! He said to an interviewer of a local English language Newspaper, that,” Seeing a piece of paper taking shape into a sculpture in my hands is rewarding enough. And when people praise you for your accomplishments, the pleasure is boundless.” He also said, “The folds get more complex in the advanced stages of origami, but through practice everyone can be an accomplished origami artist, irrespective of age.” Finished reading? Is anyone of you inspired enough to become an Origami Artist? Then go ahead. See how far you could go!!! Interested readers may please get hold of origami books and learn the basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models. They can also go to internet to learn more about this ancient art form if they wish. Sources: Internet Articles, The Daily Star. |

Yes, Mrs. Joe, it did count provided the sheet of paper that was used to make the airplane was not either cut or glued. You can call it a childhood origami exercise. Making boats or paper hats or paper ink pots during childhood help us a lot for becoming a paper sculptor eventually! Thanks, Mrs. Joe for the visit. Have a pleasant time!
