ABSTRACT

You can also select a subject that lends itself to abstraction. Elephants are also popular subjects for origami design because they offer a range of challenges. What features do you include in the design? Is it a spare representation relying on a few lines to suggest a form, or is it necessary to capture all of the features of the subject? Getting the head and trunk may be sufficient for some folders, while others will be satisfied with nothing less than tusks, tail, and toenails. A somewhat more detailed elephant is shown in Figure 3.2.
