Symmetry 

-Students investigate symmetry as a geometric property

-Students use translation symmetry to create art

Art

-Arrangements of forms into shapes and patterns can tighten a design, direct attention, and hold interest in a composition

What Did Students Do?

Students used their knowledge of shapes, patterns, and translation symmetry to create a piece of art.  They designed one section of the circle using shapes and lines and then copied their pattern onto the remainder of the pieces, creating a beautiful piece of translation symmetry.  Most students have completed their work while others are in various phases of progress.
