Second students successfully created this complex origami model! It took her 2 weeks to complete! Talk about persistence! She is already researching for the next one!
I teach students about art, creativity, and visual problem solving at Carthage Junior High. My wife is also an art teacher, and my three kids are all into their own arts, music, drama, imaginary unicorn development!

Choice based =rigorous!
With the freedom to choose subject matter and materials, some students have really taken on the task as a challenge. this large kusudama is a design called "Revealed Flower Kusudama". This student has been working nonstop over the last month trying to make it a reality! I had a model I created several years ago, and using directions from online, the example, patience and persistence, he has the functioning model! By pulling apart the pyramids, you reveal an entirely new model. Very difficult and I am so proud of him!
