The satisfying math of folding origami - Evan Zodl
Dig into the mathematical rules and patterns of folding origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding.
--
Origami, which literally translates to “folding paper,” is a Japanese practice dating back to at least the 17th century. In origami, a single, traditionally square sheet of paper can be transformed into almost any shape, purely by folding. The same simple concepts yield everything from a paper crane with about 20 steps, to a dragon with over 1,000 steps. Evan Zodl explores the ancient art form.
Lesson by Evan Zodl, directed by Charlotte Arene.

What a wonderful way of condensing so much origami knowledge into just 5 minutes! My favorite part was the visualizations of the rules for flat foldable crease patterns, especially seeing how the paper does not lie flat when the rules aren't followed.

In school they really miss to capture this about math Math is actually quite beautiful and almost artistic and creative Math isn't just about robotically calculate something Math is about understanding connection and recognizing patterns And this connections and patterns are very much necessary for us to understand better what is going on in everything around us Math is important to understand basketball better Math is important to understand music better Math is important to understand luck better Math is important to much more than engineering and physics and obviously engineering and physics are extremely important to begin with

Well said, I used to hate math because of how boring it was during school. It all changed when I took my engineering degree, Math was much much more then what we were taught, it's a whole new language and makes you understand your reality more. For every new chapter I opened in my match book was something new, a concept that gave me a better understanding about things. Math allowed me to express myself and prove my ideas in ways that I was unable to do previously. If I had one wish, it would be to highlight the beauty of mathematics to the whole world.

Only a stop motion artist can tell how much effort this video took. 👏👏
This is simply awesome! What an amazing way of sharing the benefits of origami to the world as a whole and not just paper folders. Wonderful work, Evan!
Beautifully explained with a visual treat. Thank you TED-Ed for bringing amazing content to the viewers every time.
I had a math professor in HS that absolutely loved origami, so whenever I had a new piece in my artistic repertoire (loved because of technique and as an art form) I would share with him and he would teach me one in exchange. He was the best math teacher I could ask for: dynamic, sarcastic, the type that follow you progress and watches your character development with pride (I had the same professor for almost 3 years)
the stop-motion is amazing and thank you for the paper sound effects and no music.

I’ve been doing origami for 6 years and was so excited when I saw Ted-Ed did a video on this, this is great!

Oh my goodness, this is just so much. The animation, the ideas, the whole video. Wow. Overwhelmed.
I'm really in love with the animation and origami presentation . I really love origami and videos related to applications of arts like these in vast areas.
They never failed to surprise me with their ever amazing animation. Plus the narration of this video fits Origami and Japanese "vibe" so much: calm, collected, minimalist, elegant. Awesome video!
I am absolutely encapsulated by the animation on this! Wonderful work by Charlotte Arene!!
That crisp is just sublime.
The whole video is so good! The animation is on point, the narration and the the way it is explained is so fulfilling. TED-Ed never disappoints ♥
This view was literally mesmerizing to watch. Great job!

This is superb! Thank you, Evan.
This is such a beautifully animated video. TED-ED puts so much effort into their videos!
Brilliant visuals and an insightful explanation.
What I love about these videos is that they always end with a relevant, insightful... pun
Even just a piece of paper can turn to a masterpiece, and so do us 💜
this is the channel that answers those questions that come to you mind when you are on the bed trying to sleep or during a long hot shower
They keep making these awesome videos! SUPERB
The animation and sound is wonderful.
this is incredible! absolutely wonderful stop-motion! never knew about the laws of origami. things start to make sense now. everything about this video, from the narrator to the figures to the stop-motion, was a delight to watch! bravo, everyone involved! and thanks for sharing :)

This might be the most amazing animation by TED-Ed ever. Wow!
As an origami enthusiast myself, this video is as beautifully animated as it is educational. Props to you Ted-Ed.
I have been doing origami for many years. This video was a delight. I hope it will encourage viewers to try their hands at paper folding. 😊
Aah...! Another mesmeric animation from TED👏👏
I really impressed by the animator who created this innovative and time taking animations for us to understand better ❤️.
Ted Ed has always had great animations but I think this was truly next level on all fronts. I could barely concentrate on what was being said because I was too focused watching the animation. Amazing!
The animation is soo beautiful!
That animation was so smooth!
Animations unfold as beautifully as the art and maths itself! Bravo!!
This is an amazing channel, it has helped me a lot with new knowledge in a clear and entertaining way. At the same time, as a scientist it has motivated me to start my own journey in this world of KZread.
I just wanna say, the animator is extremely talented. Thank You for making my day.

I memorized a tooooooon of origami patters in middle school to stay sane, and since quarantine started I've been re-discovering that hobby by making a bunch of modular 3d shapes and stuff. It's been a lot of fun

This animation is so impressive. Just beautiful.
The time it took to illustrate and animate the complexity of paper folding reflects a commitment and passion for the art (and science) behind origami.
Origami has always been one of my most favorite forms of art, because all you need is some paper and learn the techniques to create something beautiful. No glue, no tape.. just so easy and so simple, yet such complicated stuff you could pull off!
Animation in these videos is always top notch
My oldest two sons have been obsessed with origami for over 8 years and had an origami business for 6 years. They're going to love this!
this is SO fascinating
