Symmetry
Symmetry is when one half of an image mirrors the other half across a central line or axis.
What does symmetry mean in art?
Symmetry appears throughout nature (butterflies, snowflakes) and art (mandalas, architecture). It creates a sense of balance and harmony. In pixel art, kids can practice symmetry by creating designs that are identical on both sides of a dividing line, reinforcing both artistic and mathematical concepts.
