RADIAL PAPER RELIEF SCULPTURES 

For this lesson we began by talking about what symmetry is and the difference between linear symmetry (1 line of symmetry) and radial symmetry (more than 1 line of symmetry). 

Then we talked about what a sculpture is (a piece of artwork you can see from all sides - it is 3-dimensional) and what a relief "sculpture" is (a piece of artwork that has depth on the surface but is not meant to be seen from all sides). 

Once students understood the principles behind radial symmetry and sculpture we began creating our very own radial paper relief sculptures!
