Symmetrical bugs

 
For strand Maths we have been learning about creating reflective symmetrical patterns.  We LOVED making these symmetrical bugs using pastel and dye. 
We began by folding a piece of paper in half then opening it back out fully again.  We drew a creative bug design on one half in a dark pastel colour.  Next we folded the paper back in half and pressed firmly with our hands so that the pastel lines were reflected faintly on the other side.  We drew over the faint lines to create a completly symmetrical design.  Our next step was to colour it in symmetrically with pastels and then had to choose a suitable dye colour for the background.
To finish off we framed our own art work, creating a colourful border design.
