There are some really fun, great and easy books to get a person started. I bought a couple of books that came with paper. Great fun.
Books or the internet. If you're a visual learning youtube would have some step by step videos.
Ill write a hub about it I just recently made a modular origami swan took me 20 hours to make.
I learned mostly on the internet. All my hubs are on this topic (origami).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
