Origami: Kunsten å brette papir - Hvordan lage et unikt kunstobjekt av et stykke papir. Husker du de små båtene brettet av avispapir som du deretter lot flyte i en sølepytt? Eller papirhatten som reddet deg fra å få malingssprut i håret når du malte veggene? Og du har sikkert latt et papirfly gli gjennom klasserommet på et eller annet tidspunkt. Alle disse figurene som du laget som en selvfølge som barn, kan tilskrives origami. Origami er den japanske kunsten å brette papir. Fra bare ett stykke papir, vanligvis brukes spesielt origamipapir til dette, lages de mest spennende figurene uten å lime dem sammen på noen punkter eller kutte papiret. Slik skapes sommerfugler, kraner, biller og mange andre figurer, for eksempel bokser eller til og med tredimensjonale modeller. Men geometriske ornamenter eller til og med menneskefigurer kan også formes av papir til et kunstverk. Enfargede modeller er mulig, som absolutt er enklere å lage, men flerfargede former kan også produseres med origami. Takket være nye teknikker har til og med plastiske former blitt mulig. I boken finner du følgende emner:Hva er origami?Historisk bakgrunnVitenskapelige aspekterOrigami i moderne tidFoldeteknikkerHvilket papir skal jeg bruke?Origamifigurer for nybegynnereMange illustrasjoner og instruksjoner Fordyp deg i den japanske kunsten å brette papir og bli kjent med de ulike teknikkene. Hvis du ikke finner en passende gave til en invitasjon, hvorfor ikke lage en selv? Vertene dine vil sikkert bli gledelig overrasket når du tar med deg en slik kunst. Ha det gøy med å lese og brette papir.
