Paper can be explored through techniques such as folding, cutting and weaving. These techniques allow it to be used to make artworks and craft objects.
The chapter explicitly names these techniques.
Folding changes the shape of paper by making creases. Cutting removes selected parts. Weaving interlaces strips or pieces to create a pattern or surface.
Folding, cutting and weaving are the techniques named in the chapter.
Origami is identified as an art form of folding paper that originated in Japan and spread across the world.
The source describes the origin and spread of origami.
Paper folding can transform a flat sheet into different forms. The chapter invites students to experiment with paper as a versatile material.
