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 […]

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,

Fun introduction to symmetry and a common geometry lies here. Parallelograms also include rhombuses when sides are equal, rectangle when angles are equal, and square when both sides and angles are equal. Once you see the rotational symmetry of a parallelogram, you can see the rotational symmetry of all 4 four-forms much simpler. How To

There are actually many different types of symmetry. The typical, butterfly-style symmetry is “bilateral” reflectional symmetry. Rotational symmetry emanates from the center. (In 2D shapes, there are four kinds of symmetry you can have: reflectional, rotational, translational, and by transflection.) What is the Angle of Rotational Symmetry? The angle of rotational symmetry (also called radial
