                     Learning Outcomes


                     The student will be able to:
                        understand the concept of symmetry and patterns.
                        use the Mirror Brush tool to create symmetrical designs.
                        create a digital Rangoli.



                  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.
