The unique art form has many different types action origami, modular origami, wet-folding, pureland origami and origami tessellations. Origami grew dramatically across the globe during the mid-20th century, and has today evolved into a highly skilled specialist modern art form.

Using a number of intricate folds, a simple piece of paper can be radically transformed into a complex and beautiful piece of artwork! Furthermore, the same mathematical description that lets us create folded art also allows us to solve real-world practical problems in the fields of science, engineering, technology, medicine, and more.

Origami (Japanese for “folding paper”) is the Japanese art form of folding paper by using no additional adhesive materials or cuts, which first began in Japan in the 17th century AD. The world of mathematics might seem far removed from the world of art, but mathematics both describes and enables the creation of beautiful forms.
