In class we watched a documentary called "Between the folds", it was a film on origami. I enjoyed learning about the history of origami and its rise to popularity. I like hearing the story of how every year a group holds a competition to see who can out do each other. While art isn't a competition, a competitive element can help advance or create new techniques. Speaking of techniques, I found it really interesting when one of the guys started talking about how he folded his origami with wet paper. I love that kind of story. Adding water sounds so simple, but for some odd reason no one had thought to do it. I also liked how that one really smart guy is basically spending his life folding origami. It's cool how art can affect technology and science. It was a pretty cool movie, the only thing I didn't like was how the old men were complaining that younger artists are getting too "technical" or something like that. To me it just sounded like they were jealous.
