SYMMETRY ALL AROUND US

ACTIVITY SHEET

For each of the following pictures, examine the photo carefully and respond to the corresponding questions.

5. Draw all line(s) of reflection with respect to the entire pattern.

What basic shape is repeated to form this pattern? Sketch it and display its lines of symmetry.
How do the lines of symmetry affect the way your vision is directed in this picture?
List some ways you could this to your advantage?

6. Draw the lines of reflection with respect to the entire photo in one color and with respect to each window itself in another color.

This picture is an example of global symmetry (the entire photo) and local symmetry (each window).

Explain the difference between the two and sketch an example of something with global symmetry but not local symmetry.
