Origami Master visits Elkins Pointe
On February 3rd Origami master Makoto Yamaguchi, a native of Japan, visited students involved in the Japanese, Art, and the Origami Club classes at Elkins Pointe Middle School. Mr. Yamaguchi, a professional Origami artist since 1973 and author of more than 80 Origami books (available in both Japanese and English), talked about his humanitarian efforts and use of Origami to help bring joy and hope to children affected by the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 in Japan. Students also learned tips for making good Origami, and in the end were amazed at how a simple square piece of paper could be transformed into amazing art.
