It’s Symmetrical!

What you need to create a symmetrical drawing:

• construction paper
• pencil
• black crayon

1. Think of something to draw -- a face, an animal, an insect, a design, just about anything will work!
2. Fold a 9 x 12 sheet of construction paper in half vertically (so the longest sides are not folded).
3. Keep it folded and using a pencil draw an outline of one side of your chosen object on half the side of the paper. Use the fold line as the center of the object.
4. Add features to the half-drawing, but don’t fill in color or shading. (For example if you’re drawing a face draw half the nose and mouth starting at the fold.)
5. Then trace over the outlines heavily with a black crayon.
6. Open the paper and fold the drawing on the inside.
7. Rub the drawing with the round end of a pair of scissors, an eraser, coin or other object, so that the outline drawing is transferred onto the other half of the paper.
8. Open the paper and see a whole drawing with two symmetrical sides.
