  1. Design Thinking: Symmetry

  2. Today we will learn how symmetry is used in design.

  3. Today we will: • Have a lesson • View a demonstration • Create a design using what we learn.

  4. Part 1: Symmetry in math and in the world around us Part 2: Using symmetry in design Part 3: Using symmetry to create an Alpana

  5. In math you have learned about geometric figures that have symmetry:

  6. In math you have learned about geometric figures that have symmetry: If you can reflect (or flip) a figure over a line and the figure appears unchanged, then the figure has symmetry.

  7. Two examples of figures with geometric symmetry:

  8. How did people first become aware of symmetry?

  9. How did people first become aware of symmetry? By observing themselves and the world around them.

  10. By observing their bodies…

  11. By observing the ocean…

  12. By observing insects…

  13. Ladybug: my favorite!

  14. By observing plants…

  15. …and by observing animals.

  16. Part 1: Symmetry in math and in the world around us. Part 2: Using symmetry in design. Part 3: Using symmetry to create an Alpana.

  17. How do designers use symmetry?

  18. Symmetry is all around us!

  19. Symmetry is all around us!

  20. Symmetry is all around us! A H 8

  21. Designers use symmetry to create furniture.

  22. Designers use symmetry to create furniture.

  23. Designers use symmetry to create fabrics and clothing.

  24. Architects use symmetry to create buildings.

  25. 2550 BC: Construction of the great pyramids of Egypt

  26. Taj Mahal, built in India, about 350 years ago

  27. Architects and engineers use symmetry to create bridges.

  28. Graphic designers use symmetry to create logos.

  29. Graphic designers use symmetry to create logos.

  30. Graphic designers use symmetry to create logos.

  31. Part 1: Symmetry in math and in the world around us. Part 2: Using symmetry in design. Part 3: Using symmetry to create an Alpana.

  32. Alpana is an ancient form of folk art from India.

  33. when constructing an Alpana. When constructing an Alpana the artist begins by creating a dot pattern.

  34. The dot pattern is used as a guide for making an outline.

  35. A traditional Alpana is made from rice flour rubbed or sprinkled on the ground or floor.

  36. Alpana are often made outside near the entrance of a home to welcome visitors on holidays or special occasions.

  37. Alpana are a temporary form of art. They can be blown away by the wind or washed away by the rain.

  38. Ants, birds and other small animals often eat the rice flour.

  39. Alpana are also called Rangoli, Kolam, and Madana.

  40. Artists often use symmetry when creating the design of an Alpana.

  41. Some scholars believe this art form is 5,000 years old.

  42. Alpana originated in ancient India and has been passed down from generation to generation.
