Radial Design
I can create an unique symmetrical radial design.
The students looked at two examples of radial designs, Mandalas and Rose Windows. A Mandala is a complex abstract design that is usually circular in form. The word "mandala" is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". Mandalas often contain both geometric and organic forms. Rose Window, also called Wheel Window, a decorative circular window, filled with stain glass. The design has a center point and everything radiate out from the center, like a rose.

- Students had to problem solve what tools were needed to create a perfect Circle on an 18x18 piece or paper without a Compass.
- Next they had to explore how to create a Symmetrical Radial Design out of Geometric and Organic shapes (no pictures).
- Solve how to transfer the design to the other side of the circle.
