The scheme for creating a modular origami dragon from paper for beginners. Master class with photo
Today we will talk about how to assembledragon in the technique of modular origami from paper. Having a lot of free time and not knowing how to spend it, you should pay attention to origami patterns, concealing surprisingly deep knowledge, concerning not only the field of paper ownership, but also the field of spatial thinking. Origami is perfect for lovers of a quiet pastime. Only being a truly patient and attentive person can you achieve significant heights in assembling origami. Before we begin assembling an origami dragon, you need to choose paper that is suitable for the planned product. Usually, typographic and drawing paper, writing and newsprint are suitable for the art of origami. You can use both velvet and shagreen paper, and even wallpaper or cardboard. But to create a dragon in the technique of modular origami, you should choose special paper for origami artists. Its difference is ease of folding and the ability to hold folds perfectly, due to which the finished product origami dragon will keep its shape for a long time. In addition, such paper is sold in a variety of colors, so there will be no problems with the choice, and the intended craft will be the color you like. In addition to the paper for creating a dragon, we will need a diagram. 1. We assemble a chain of modules, connecting them in this way: 2. In the resulting chain of modules, in the first row there are 9 modules, in the second 10 (8 green, 2 orange).3. Then we lay out the modules by color as shown in the picture. 4. In total, eight rows of modules were assembled.5. Bend the part, which turned out to be a semicircle. 6. Turn the modules over so that they are facing forward at right angles and assemble another row.7. I connect the extreme tops of the modules at the back with a chain of two rows of modules (the first row has 10 modules, the second has 9).8.Then we lay out a row of modules in a circle. Turn them over to their original position. 9.Then we lay out the modules by color.10. And this is the rear view:eleven.Again, we turn the four central modules at right angles forward, from them we assemble 3 green modules on each side in the normal position, the remaining 9 modules (at the back) also at right angles forward.12. Rear view:13. Then we alternate the 7 central modules by color, assembling them in the usual position.14. And at the back, we put each module in this row on 3 tops, reducing the number of modules to 8 pieces. In total, there are 15 modules in a circle in this row.15. Then four green central modules, turned at right angles forward:16.Then we alternate these 4 central green modules turned at right angles forward with three modules laid out in the usual position by color: 1-green, 1-orange, one-green. Thus we collect 10 rows, a kind of comb is obtained.17. We assemble the next row (11 modules) in the usual position at the back, starting from the ridge itself and ending at the ridge on the other side.18. I tilt the comb down and glue it to the lower modules, fixing it in this position.19.Rear view.20. I start making the lower jaw. In the first row of the jaw there are 5 modules, in the second - 4 modules (we alternate by color)21. In the third one there are five modules again, alternating in color. The jaw is ready.22. We insert it into place and glue it.23.Side view.24. We use ready-made eyes, bought in a store. We glue each eye to a module. Then we glue the modules to the head with a hot glue gun. The head is ready.25.Side view.26. From the red modules we assemble a chain and close it in a circle. We get the base for the body, consisting of two rows of modules with 26 modules in each row.27. We assemble two more rows of modules.28. We make a button by adding white modules.29.30. We assemble a row of red modules between the buttons.31. We make the second button. And again we assemble a row of red modules.32. Assembling the tie.33. Turn the white modules right angles forward and assemble a row of white modules.34. Next, we reduce the number of white modules to 18 pieces (we put the module on 3 tops)35. We assemble another row of white modules (18 pieces)36. Now we make the neck. We turn the green modules at right angles forward and assemble a row of 18 pieces.37. In this way we collect a total of 5 rows of green modules with 18 pieces in each row.38. In the sixth row we reduce the number of modules. There are 12 of them.39. We collect 3 more rows of modules with 12 pieces in each. There are 8 rows in the neck in total.40. We make the lower legs by connecting the modules as follows.41. Insert the module into the pocket of the first module of the foot with the right angle facing up.42. The lower legs are ready.43. Similarly, with minor changes, we make the upper legs (see photo):44. Insert the module into the pocket of the first module of the foot with the right angle facing upwards.45. And we put the module on it with the right angle down.46. The upper legs are ready.47. We begin to make the wings by connecting the green modules in the following way.48. We add 7 modules to the extreme tops of the modules on both sides, putting the modules on top of each other with one pocket in a column.49. Next, we turn the modules right angles forward and assemble a row of 8 modules on each side.50. Connect the central crowns with a module.51. Next, we lay out a row of modules, 7 pieces on each side.52. Again, we connect the central tops of the modules with a module turned at a right angle forward.53. We assemble a row of modules in the same position, 6 pieces on each side. The wing is ready. We make the second wing in the same way.54. Let's move on to making the tail. We assemble a chain of modules. In the first row there are 13 modules, in the second 12 modules.55. In the next row, turn the modules right angles forward and assemble a row of 11 modules.56. Then we will alternate the rows of modules in the same way, changing their position and reducing the number in each row by one module.57. The tail is ready. There are 14 rows in the tail. 58.Now let's talk about joining the parts. If you have a hot glue gun, then you can easily glue the paws, tail, wings and head using this simple device. If you don't have a hot glue gun, you can attach the parts using a regular toothpick. So, break the toothpick in half. 59. Dip one end of it in glue and insert it into the pocket of the central module of the wing. Let the glue dry. 60. Then, spread glue on the protruding part of the toothpick and insert it between the modules on the back where you were supposed to attach the wing.61. We attach the second wing in the same way.62. We attach the tail, lower legs and head in the same way.63. Glue the upper legs to the body.64.Our dragon is ready. Look: here it is in all its glory.
