For the past couple of weeks, fourth grade has been working on a Radial Symmetrical Design. We watched Radial Balance Square on youtube to get a great idea of what the project was going to be about. The students were very excited about this one! :)
I cut copy paper into a perfect square: 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 and show them how to fold it so that they had 8 triangles. They were to draw some fun design into one of the triangles. No words were allowed and I wanted them to use more organic shapes filling out the space of their triangle, making it simple and not too complicated. Next they traced over those with heavy pencil. Then folded the paper in half and used the end of a curved sharpie to rub pretty firmly, focusing on the lines they could see to transfer the graphite. They repeated this process all the way around.
Once that was complete, they outlined all pencil lines in a black marker and then colored in with markers, colored pencils and/or crayons.
