2. Day 1 – Discussion Think, Pair, Share: Where do you see symmetry in nature or buildings around you? 🗣️ Discussion Time!

3. Day 2 – Reflection and Rotation • Reflection: Flip over a line to get the mirror image. • Rotation: Turn a shape around a fixed point. • Examples: Logos like Audi, designs, mandalas. 🎥 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey5vHjJz3bU

4. Day 2 – Discussion Why do you think designers use rotation or reflection in logos and patterns? 🗣️ Discussion Time!
