A Portfolio Of Folds: Mixed Media Origami Residency
What’s in a fold? In this eight-fold origami residency, participants will work with artist James W. Peake of Foldspace Origami Studio to develop foundational paper folding skills while also applying geometric concepts to create imaginative, mixed-media artwork. They will combine traditional and contemporary paper techniques, developing portfolios of work. In addition to gaining critical math and art practice, students will practice storytelling and social emotional learning to turn a simple piece of paper into a unique, personal work of art.
Participants will
become familiar with a variety of common origami folds and have an introduction to basic folding skills
practice hands-on application of simple mathematical concepts as they are used in paper folding.
engage in imaginative storytelling based on their own creations and the creations of classmates.
develop a simple portfolio of artwork to share their creations and track progress.
