Paper Tigers – Origami is paper engineering, Feb. 20
Connie Stanton, (standing) leads a class called “Paper Tigers” on third Fridays where students learn 2-3 new designs each time. On February 20, the Monument Library held an origami class for the experience of creating small paper sculptures with children and adults. Many of the children had a lot of experience making these small artworks, while it was a new attempt for some of the adults. Each person took a flat sheet of paper and engineered it with a specific series of manipulations, and were able to create animals, contrive convoluted forms into a ball shape that could bounce, and a frog made as a toy that could hop and race the other frog toys.
