1. Take a few minutes to look at the print above. What do you see? What looks interesting or weird? Can you see any patterns or objects that repeat? Using your imagination, what do you see happening in the photo? What type of story can you create? What is the artist trying to say in giving us this print?
2. Many things and objects all around us have repeating patterns in them. So many natural representations of repeating patterns are found in nature. Look at the leaves we cut out in preparation for fall and Halloween. These leaves show us that both sides are identical. That means they are equal. Also, we see these equal patterns in many buildings, cars and other man made creations. Look at the image below for an example of hand drawn symmetry.
