Whether is it math, music or Origami...many students arrive being lost in
the numbers...music notation...or the folds...all of which are merely a
means to the end.
A simple, global approach can move the student away from the granular
detail, that in the long run, the student himself will refine.
Silent folding, following along with no diagram, offers one way to enjoy and
begin with Origami from a more global/right brained approach, adding in the
language, detail and logic later.
