http://www.oriland.com/index.asp

CONTENT:
"Origami is entertainment for the Soul, gymnastics for the Mind, and training for the Hands!" This site explores the art of origami from the most basic to the complex.
AESTHETICS:
This site looks like the "imaginative paper world" that it claims to be, with soft pastel colors and great graphics. Flash Player is required.
ORGANIZATION:
The top and bottom navigation bars on the main page and each internal page give quick and easy access to all the major areas of the site.

REVIEW:
Anyone interested in the art of origami, from the most basic to the most complex, will find something of interest at this site. Visitors will find information on how origami helps to build motor skills and creative and intellectual abilities as well as a series of ten lectures "on different themes from an origin of origami, through an evolutionary way of development of the diagrams, to how origami influence the whole brain". Interested in learning the ancient art? The Learning Center is filled with helpful information for the beginner. The best place to start would be the animated symbols to learn the basics, then on to the base folds that are the basis for folding many models. After you have learned the symbols and basic folds, there are ten practical lessons for practicing the folds from the most basic to the complex. Included is a list of useful tips for folders. The more experienced folder will want to visit the studio for diagrams for folding everything from animals to plants to heroes. Be sure to visit the kingdoms and the treasury galleries and explore the delightful worlds that can be created from paper without glue and scissors.
