You should now have three lines that form six total angles.
6. Using your line segment tool, create any polygon in one of the six angles as shown on pg 513.
7. Reflect the polygon across the closest line, then the next line, and so on until the kaleidoscope is filled
and you have a symmetrical design.
8. Now add other figures besides the original polygon. Reflect these figures to create a more interesting
design (see an example on pg 513).
9. When you’re done with your design, highlight the three original reflection lines, go to the “Display”
menu and select “Hide Lines”
10. Print your design and color it!
