Without getting into the mathematics, can somebody point me to a decent website that can teach me origami from basics? When I google, I get sent to a bunch of sites that are often not well designed to teach.
- dublinben 10y agoYou would probably be best served with a nice introductory book. It would teach you the fundamental folds, and also how to follow printed origami instructions. If you get stuck on any particular exercise, there are certainly video tutorials on YouTube that may also help.
- jp555 10y agoYoutube. I learned first by borrowing books from my local library and then from Robert J. Lang books I bought. But that was before the Internet. Nowadays YouTube is an excellent resource for learning some foundational folding principles, some base folds, and getting past tricky "folding bottlenecks" that were always a huge frustration for me when I was learning from books. It's just really hard to clearly convey some 3D folding steps with only 2D diagrams. For example some of Robert J. Lang's phenomenal insect models (https://www.amazon.ca/Origami-Insects-Robert-J-Lang/dp/0486286029 https://www.amazon.ca/Origami-Insects-Robert-J-Lang/dp/04862...) are hundreds of steps, and it's super frustrating to get stuck at say step 130 with only 45 left to go. Anyway, I prop up an iPad up with Youtube and work through models with my 6 year old son, and he's learning way way faster than I did when I was his age.
