Material preparation: square paper
1, prepare a square piece of paper. Ordinary printing paper or origami special paper can be used. Fold the diagonal of the paper in half, and turn one corner to the other to make the paper triangular.
2. Unfold the paper, and then fold the two corners to the center line to make the paper form a triangle again. Fold up the lower triangle so that the bottom is aligned with the top to form a rectangle. Fold the corners inward so that they are aligned with the center line.
3. Fold down the corner so that it is aligned with the bottom. Spread the whole structure to the left and right sides to form the wing of the aircraft.
Fold up the lower corner to align it with the wing to form the fuselage of the aircraft. Fold down the upper corner to form the tail of the plane.
4. Finally, fold the wings on both sides slightly upward to make them present an appropriate angle with the fuselage.
Brief introduction and origin of origami art
I. Introduction
Origami is an artistic activity of folding paper into various shapes. Origami is not limited to paper.
Origami lovers all over the world use a variety of materials while adhering to the folding standards. The combination of origami and natural science has not only become an auxiliary teaching tool in architectural schools, but also developed origami geometry as a branch of modern geometry.
Origami is not only a toy, but also a thinking activity. This is a way to symbolize peace and commemoration, and it is also a way of entertainment.
Second, the origin
Heian period (794 ~ 1 185), origami is an integral part of various ceremonies of Japanese aristocrats. Japanese samurai exchange decorated origami gifts, which are souvenirs of origami works, including abalone strips or dried meat. Japanese Shinto nobles celebrated their wedding with sake (a Japanese rice wine), decorated with male and female paper butterflies representing the bride and groom.
When tea ceremony masters receive their diplomas, in order to keep them confidential, they usually fold the outer packaging of the diplomas. Once the package is opened, it cannot be folded unless it is creased. In other words, if there is an extra crease, it means that the document has been read.
