One of the designs from my Father's Day Star Cards with rotational symmetry. This one says on the front, "Always bear in mind that you are..." then inside, "...my All-Star Dad!"

Folk Art. Decorations displaying exclusively rotational symmetry often occur in folk arts. Old Native American pottery has decorations with a wealth of rotational-only symmetry.

M is for Mirror...just heard about this 1998 book, you need a mirror to see the images hidden in the art...sounds intriguing!

Symmetry: 3rd grade Magazine pictures cut in half, students drew the mirror image on the other side. Super fun. They loved doing it. Lots of art and math. Cool!

Julie Blanda I have made these for Math, Art and Science. We call them Symmetry Blotter Bugs! Soooo cute. I can't wait to use your Symmetry book next year with this project!!!
Loreen Leedy Cool, I bet the kids really love making them! I remember making string/paint pictures, but we didn't turn them into anything...this is much more fun!
Third graders created brilliant tissue paper banners as part of their study of Mexican art. A rainbow of authentic Mexican papel picados was strung above the chalkboard. We noted the variety of shapes that pierced each piece. Students folded a large sheet of tissue 4 times, and then cut interesting shapes from the sides, bottom, and along the folds.

"Papel Picado", or "cut paper", is a colorful decoration found at most Mexican celebrations.

Real life example of symmetry with counterchange, which M.C. Escher often used in his art work.

Circle Patterns ~ Rotational Symmetry 4th grade students learn the term "rotational symmetry" in their math class, so for a cross curriculum connection we do a series of projects involving rotational symmetry. In this project students used a compass to draw perfect concentric circles in which they drew small pictures or patterns that rotated around the circle. They colored in their drawings with markers and did their best to be consistent with their coloring.

Christy Bailey McManus Ms. Leedy, these are from Math Art, http://www.amazon.com/Math-..., which is an exceptional book. I use it often in my special education classroom.
