>But that now raises the question of what we call the other half of the creative act: what word do we use for the physical artwork, and what do we call the person who folds it?
I want to clarify something I have felt as a truth for some time - the difference between craft and art: CRAFT is the process, ART is the result. I can craft my art (make my art), but I cannot art my craft. That does not sound logical and like proper English. A model is a displayed piece. The term MODEL is such a well know term in the origami community, I feel it would be very hard to change and there needs to be a consensus to do so. Personally I much prefer the word designer over creator because I am an Artist Trading Card (ATC) creator but I include origami models designed by origami designers, is I create the ATC but do not design all elements within it. I this "folds" for the resulting piece is not clear. What does it mean to make lots of folds? Personally, I think a person who makes origami (not only the designer) should be an Origamist, not an Origamian (to keep things consistent), and an origamist can be described as an origami artist. Also, I design simple models, but do not consider myself a composer, I cannot read music... I am happy to hear more discussion. Lisa B. Corfman
