The convention I most often participate only has three complexity levels for the workshops: beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Aside from that, the workshops are one or two hours long. I've learned the following during these conventions:
1. The complexity level declared for the workshop isn't the same as the complexity level stated in diagrams. Many complex models can simply take more than two hours to even fold, so the ones in the convention stated as advanced can actually be, for example, from mid intermediate or high intermediate diagrams. 2. It's important to take into account the duration of the workshop when choosing the complexity level of the workshop. It'll be a bigger challenge for many attendees to fold a model in an hour instead of two. I'll teach two models during the following convention, I've decided I'll teach them both in one-hour workshops, that's definite. These are the two models, both of them are creations of mine: "Semi-flat Case": I'm not sure if I should announce it as a beginners or an intermediate workshop. Its biggest challenges are pinch folding the four edges of the square into thirds using the "s" method and being able to follow all the steps correctly; around fifteen for the box and fifteen more for the lid. http://neorigami.com/neo/media/k2/items/cache/ada9a09acea936d776a6f55c82778c43_XL.jpg "Elastic Suit Wrestler": Not sure if announce it as an intermediate or an advanced workshop. It's biggest challenges are giving the trunk volume and tucking a layer from the legs into pockets on the thigh. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1151853838163926&set=a.261862077163111.87218.100000179635552&type=3&theater I would like to declare they're a beginners and an intermediate workshop respectively, in order to be more inclusive. The problem is that, maybe it'll end up being too challenging for the attendees and end simply being frustrated incapable of folding the models. How do I take this decision? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance. Gerardo gerardo(a)neorigami.com
