The art of origami is a very curious and addictive activity. I always want to learn how to make a new figure, make more colored paper crafts. This time we will learn to perform different models of paper people.
Also try to understand the principles on which modular origami is based. The technique of manufacturing figures from triangular modules has an advantage over conventional assembly.
How to make a man? Schemes
The most elementary schemes are not very picturesque, of course, figures made of many parts - modular - look more attractive. But let's start with a simple one.
We will write one of the diagrams:
- We make a blank. A square is cut out of any paper of your favorite color in size 18x18 cm.
- The square needs to be bent twice diagonally and vertically. At the heart of the figure is a double triangle. Lines make clear. Now expand the triangle so that the stripes serve as a support for further actions.
- Having folded the square across, you need to make a corrugated workpiece from it. Fold the paper so that the edges of the folds are facing up. We make 4 folds on one side and 4 on the other. Total folds should be 8.
- Now turn the sheet 90 ° and with the same accuracy corrugate it on the other side. The same 8 folds.
- What's next? The most extreme lines around the entire perimeter of the sheet need to be bent up.
- Gradually we select all the internal lines along the perimeter up and collect the diagonal cross.
- The lower corners of the cross - these will be the legs of the little man, the upper corners, respectively, of the arm. From those squares that turned out in the center of the blank sheet, we form the body, arms and head with a hood.
- Of the squares, the elbow and knee bends, hands and feet of an origami man are also easily made.
After performing all of the above manipulations, you will get a simple figure of an adult. She is somewhat similar to the hero of Minecraft. If you make the bend angle of the knee joint larger, your origami man will even dance.
Volumetric figure of a child. Step-by-step steps
Origami people - this is a simple task for someone who is at least a little versed in basic figures. But if you do not understand how to perform a figure according to a given scheme, then you can assemble the figure by watching the training video. All modular crafts are best done by looking at the actions of the wizard, who tells each step and specifies the number of elements for the desired shape.
A very cute origami child is performed according to the scheme of master Hyuug Hinat. For this modular design, 756 triangular modules are needed.
There are other models of children's figures made of triangular modules. Learning how to make one model, you quickly understand the principles of assembly of such modular dolls.
All models are built on the same principle - a ball is made of triangles of a certain diameter. The ball is given the desired shape, in this case, the shape of the head. The assembly begins with 3 rows combined in a ring. Next, row by row, the desired model is built, which takes into account the alternation of colored elements. It is impossible to make mistakes in the order of color modules, otherwise the image will be violated. Any colors can be selected, but it is better to always make a face out of discreet beige color modules.
Another, smaller in diameter ball is attached below and takes the form of a body. Hands, tail, legs, skirt - all additional details are already made easier and are attached with glue.
What other paper people schemes are there?
The origami world is so fascinating that every adult, once in this element, forgets about time and carefully studies new patterns. Origami people are quite popular figures, quite a lot of them have already been invented. There is a paper version of a man with a guitar; the scheme of a Japanese wrestler was invented, which will amuse adults and children.
And with the help of the square diagram, it is easier to depict any superhero that your child liked. For example, iron man or spider-man.
Origami population of a large paper city
If there is enough time to create many objects from paper, you can build an entire city of origami people. Use simple square schemes, where it’s enough to paint the figures with markers to make them more like people.
Different figures in beautiful costumes will amuse your children. Each hero is interested in coming up with some kind of inventory. Origami people will completely replace toys for a child, moreover, they are completely safe.
