ORIGAMI
Origami is defined as an educational art in which people develop their expression.
artistic and intellectual. They also expose it as the essence that hides behind the fingers of
who fold papers to give birth to countless figures.
The peculiarity of this technique is the transformation of paper into shapes of different sizes and
symbolisms, starting from a square or rectangular base that can range from simple
models up to highly complex folds. The preferred subjects for modeling are animals and
other elements of nature such as flowers, trees among other motifs.
Types of origami
Action origami
Origami not only represents immobile figures, there are also movable objects where the
figures can move in clever ways. Action origami includes models that
they fly, which need to be inflated to complete them, or that use the kinetic energy of the
my person, applied in a certain area of the model, to move a limb or to flutter.
Modular origami
Modular origami consists of putting a number of identical pieces together to form a
complete model the parts are normally simple but the final assembly can be
complicated. Many of the modular origami models are decorative balls like the
Kusudama, however, differs in that kusudama allows the pieces to be placed.

where a large number of pieces are put together to make elaborate models.
Wet plagued
Wet folding is an origami technique used to produce models with fine curves instead.
of straight geometric folds and flat surfaces. It consists of moistening the paper so that it
it can be easily molded. The final model retains its shape when it dries. It can be
using, for example, to produce animal models with a very natural appearance.
Pureland origami or pure origami
It is a style in which only one fold can be made at a time and
more complex folds such as inverted ones are not allowed. All folds must have
direct locations. This was created by JHON SMTH in the 70s to help those
with limited motor skills.
Origami tiling or tessellations
This is a branch of origami that has recently grown in popularity, but has a history.
extensive. A tiling is a regularity or pattern of figures that covers or paves
completely a flat surface without leaving gaps. The origami tessellations are made
usually with paper, but other materials that hold the fold can be used.

Common questions
Powered by AIOrigami is described as an educational art that fosters artistic and intellectual expression. It aids in developing skills such as concentration, manual dexterity, creativity, and problem-solving. By transforming paper into various shapes, individuals enhance their spatial awareness and fine motor skills, which are crucial components of educational development .
The document describes several types of origami: Action origami involves moveable models; Modular origami consists of assembling identical pieces into a complete model; Wet folding employs moistening paper for curved surfaces; Pureland origami restricts folds to simple ones, created for individuals with limited motor skills; Origami tiling involves creating repeating patterns that cover a surface without gaps. Each type varies in technique and complexity, from simple folding to intricate assembly and design .
In rehabilitation, origami serves numerous therapeutic functions, such as resolving emotional problems, offering psychological support, and providing an opportunity to enjoy and relax. It facilitates nonverbal communication, sets goals, and stimulates artistic expression, making it beneficial for patient rehabilitation by fostering a calming environment conducive to healing and personal expression .
Modular origami differs from traditional origami in that it involves creating designs by assembling multiple identical pieces into a single model, rather than folding a single sheet of paper. This method allows for the creation of complex and decorative forms, such as decorative balls like Kusudama. While traditional origami focuses on single-piece folding, modular origami emphasizes assembly and structural engineering .
Origami is seen as a form of handcrafted work that combines the meticulous guidelines of folding with the creative process of visual representation. The symbolic and aesthetic value of origami figures is regarded as possessing understanding and recognition qualities worldwide, suggesting that origami meets certain characteristics that define artistic beauty and expression .
Action origami expands the traditional concept of origami by integrating movement into the paper models, allowing them not just as static art but also as dynamic objects. By incorporating kinetic energy and interactive elements, action origami transforms figures into mechanically active forms, illustrating a blend of engineering with artistic design .
Origami therapy supports children's emotional and cognitive development by providing a nonverbal communication outlet and promoting concentration and relaxation. It helps address emotional problems such as attention difficulties, expression issues, and hyperactivity by offering a therapeutic manual activity that occupies the mind and calms hyperactive behavior, facilitating emotional balance and focus .
