So today in class our teacher showed us a movie called "In Between the Folds", which I thought was pretty interesting. It was about these people who have dedicated their lives to the art of origami, which if you don't know, is taking paper and folding it into something real without the use of tape or glue or scissors. Just your hands and the paper. It's truly beautiful. Many people would laugh it off and say that it isn't something worth spending your time on, but really it is fun, and amazing. Because you turn a simple piece of paper into a complicated work of art. I loved the video. It really opened my eyes to the world of origami, and I even started learning some origami this weekend. I learned the simple "crane" in class, but I did some research and learned how to create a frog, too. I love origami. It truly is an amazing type of art.
