Symmetry

Symmetry is a math concept that easily translates to physics and art. There are many flavors of symmetry besides your typical. Symmetry compresses information by encoding complex patterns.

6 Hypnotic Works of Hexagonal Symmetry in Art

hexagonal symmetry in art 6 hypnotic works

Hexagonal symmetry in art shows through in six-fold symmetry. Six-fold or hexagonally symmetry consists of a radially dispersed pattern repeated six times, around a center point. Images of mandalas and clock-style art come to mind when we think of radial symmetry, which is but one kind of many types of symmetry beyond the bilateral mirror […]

8 Tantalizing Examples of Rotational Symmetry in Art

Since the beginning of history it seems people have used rotational symmetry in art. Rotational symmetry can invoke a strong respond of awe in the viewer. Also, rotational symmetry tends to have a calming effect on the mind. This is because one tends to rest their gaze in the center, which is very relaxed. To

Different Types of Lines of Symmetry to be Aware of

Since learning about rotational symmetry, you may wonder if there’s even more different types of lines of symmetry. Besides the elementary school butterfly symmetry (which is is a reflectional symmetry), there is a more general way to describe “symmetry” – anything conserved under change. Abstractly defined, symmetry is the property of something to stay constant

Rotational symmetry is everywhere in cultural symbols. As far back as we have artifacts, we also have symbols with rotational symmetry. This fact emphasizes the importance of rotational symmetry archetypes in the development of society and culture. Here are 11 examples. This list of examples is by no means comprehensive. I simply picked a number,
