In the previous chapters, you learnt how to make fun emoticons and beautiful
landscapes using Sketchpad. Now, in this chapter, you will learn how to create
Rangoli designs and symmetrical objects. Sketchpad is a great tool for making many
types of artwork, and today, you will use it to make beautiful, colourful patterns.
SYMMETRY AND PATTERNS
Symmetry is when something looks exactly the same on both sides. For example,
a square, circle, and triangle all have symmetry. If you fold them down the middle,
the two halves will match perfectly.
Patterns are shapes or designs that repeat over and over again. You might see
patterns in things like tiles, flowers, or even in nature. When you use symmetry and
patterns together in art, it will create beautiful designs that are balanced and even.
For example, in rangoli art, you use symmetrical patterns to make designs that are
both pretty and organised.
MIRROR BRUSH
The Mirror Brush tool in Sketchpad is a special tool that helps you draw symmetrical
designs easily. It works like a magic mirror. When you draw on one side of the screen,
the Mirror Brush draws the same thing on the other side automatically.
