Between the Folds

Happy New Year everyone! Almost time to get back to class, but it should be pretty fun. In the first week back I plan on showing my students the film Between the Folds, a very interesting look at origami, some of its eccentric artists, and the way it relates to math and mathematical thinking. I recommend this film to anyone interested in the arts, creativity, and/or math, from a couple very simple rules (one page, no cutting or pasting) you can produce an infinite array of figures, and in fact it is these limitations that feed the creative force behind the artform.
