Middle eastern mosques used radial symmetry in their
cobalt blue tile work that covered the walls and ceilings.
Radial Symmetry: A design or pattern that has similar parts
arranged around a central axis. Ex. Flower or pizza.
Requirements:
 Design a coaster set with matching holder that shows
unity.
 Use radial symmetry to create your original design.
 Correctly use under glaze to apply color to your green
ware clay before bisque firing.
Creating a radial design:
1. On graph paper, draw 2 circles and divide them into 4 sections
each.
2. In one section of the 1st circle, fill with pattern design and line
work.
3. Cut out slice.
4. At the window, hold up the cut slice underneath the other
circle drawn. Trace design onto full circle. Repeat 3 more
times until the circle is filled.
5. This design is now radially symmetrical because all parts are
arranged around the central axis.
