Is it possible to fold paper like this?

Everybody is new at some point of time.
The slope, the bottom and the vertical wall can be made of one piece. The rest (recangular frame and traprzoid walls) of another.

Thanks. I asked a teacher if the design could be made and he said that nothing was impossible and showed me another design based on pentagons, and if that could be made, why mine could be not.
I really don't want to change the whole design, since I really thought a lot about the concept behind it, and it needs a frame, slopes, and a bottom to keep it all together.

Alternatively, the entire lower "bowl" section could be its own piece of paper and the outer square rim could be its own piece of paper as well

You might want to look at the techniques used for the following models:

Fold only one level, and try to make slopes instead of the straight, "vertical" walls.

Paper is flexible (though not stretchable), and given the proper variables, it can be forced into that shape. Think about dry seals. You may need to implement some proper tools for the work, like a jig and some kind of press. And probably moisten the paper a bit. Or maybe not, depending on the kind of paper you use. But it can be done. That is, as long as the paper's inherent properties allow it.

That looks great. I'll try to make it, to understand it the most I can.

Thanks for your response. The only hard part is that I'm working with lined board, so to make the folds, I need to use a xacto knife and use the part of the knife that isn't sharp, in order to don't get a messy and ugly fold.

So, Kubo and the two strings was interesting.

It is entirely possible to fold the entire thing from one piece. It is a modified version of box pleating. However, the angles are advanced. Check out the origami cubed or origami to the fourth power, etc books from the osme conferences. One of those had an article you'd find helpful. And your teacher is wrong...some things are impossible with origami. This just isn't one of them.

keep in mind that the surface area of your paper is constant.

Does this help? (sorry about crappy editing)
