Create your own gift of art to share!
Start with this exercise at home (shh… it’s math, and it’s fun!):
Draw a simple design in one pie piece of the circle template.
Use the mathematical concept of transformation to see what happens when you SLIDE, FLIP, or TURN your design.
SLIDE: Repeat your shape/design alongside the original
FLIP: Create a mirror image of your shape/design
TURN: Rotate your design clockwise or counterclockwise
…Now, bring your math exercise to life with this Arts Impact activity!
You can create your own gift of art to share using radial symmetry. To create a radially symmetrical design, just turn, turn, turn your design around the full circle!
- Copy your design from the template on the other side into all the other pieces of the pie.
- Cut out the full circle.
- Trace the outside of your circle onto a piece of recycled cardboard and cut it out.
- Wrap the cardboard circle in aluminum foil and tape your design on top of the foil.
- Using a pen, trace all the lines of your design firmly to transfer the pattern to the foil (TIP: work on top of a notebook or other semi-soft surface).
- Remove the template, and voila!
- Display your work of art in your home or gift it to a friend or loved one!
