Seventh graders are currently studying all things Japanese, so in art class we are doing a unit on Origami. After doing some test runs with very easy designs, we got ambitious and decided to try to make 1000 Origami Cranes, like the story of Sadako.We will be making these cranes for charity, to help children with cancer through the Fundación Amigos Contra el Cancer Infantil. Our goal* is to have 1000 cranes done by April 19th, so we can exhibit them on the 20th and sell them each that day to raise money for the foundation. Only 2 seventh grades are working on this project so we need all the help we can get! If you want to give a hand, you may follow this tutorial and create as many as you can. Finished cranes may be left in the CBNH library with Rose.
Remember, the most important step for origami is PATIENCE!
* Another important thing we talked about in class was the difference between a dream and a goal; Goals have a date! Otherwise, they are very hard to accomplish.
