LEARNING LOG 1: Observe, Connect and Reflect on Your Learning
To gaze is to think. Salvador Dali
PART I – Concepts in Symmetry
Period

Question
Your Observations
(20 - 30 words) (2 marks)
Describe the symmetry of the Viking shield.
The Viking shield has 2 unique mirror lines. This design helps to provide the soldiers with a neat and organized look, showing the rest that they are united.

What was the most surprising or interesting fact you learnt from
Week 1 lectures
It is surprising to see so many objects in our daily life to have different types of symmetry. With the same object, there is different types of symmetry when view from different angles, that is something which I have not realized before.

Describe the symmetrical elements you see in this
Japanese embroidery.
3 fold rotation.
No mirror lines
This gives a little sophistication to the Japanese embroidery design.

Can you add anything to your Week 1 description of the Viking shield?
The Viking shield has 4 fold rotation symmetry in addition to the 2 mirror reflections. 1
You can’t criticize geometry. It’s never wrong. Paul Rand

Use the formal descriptors of plane symmetry to describe this bathroom tile tessellation. Its plane group is a p4 (No 10) whereby it has an origin at 4. In addition to this, this bathroom tile tessellation has 2 mirror lines, no glide lines and no rotation.
