Teaching "Origami"

As an Art/ Visual teacher, I am immersed in the learning of what is a visual exercise that would allow students to use all sensorial approaches to understanding a visual concept and then transform them into reality or rather a manifestation of a physical form either being (2D) 2 dimensional or (3D) 3-dimensional plane. Here within the last three weeks of exploring the world of folding paper (Origami)
The discovery and maturity of designs and problem-solving of the students are so complex, but at its simplest at the same time. Here is an ART that the rules are very simple to start with a square piece of paper there is no cutting, no taping, no gluing and or stapling to transform a piece of paper into a recognizable form or shape; Let's say a bird or a complex form as an octahedron. By merely folding the paper, it changes the memory and begins its journey to its final destination of creation.
