Kaleidoscope

For the kaleidoscope project, I picked the theme of the 4 elements: water, earth, fire, and air. For fire I drew a flame, for earth I drew some green leaves, for water I drew a water drop, and for air I drew a double spiral to try to look like wind. Then, I scanned the images and uploaded them to photoshop. I layered the 4 pictures on top of each other in different ways and cut a triangle out of the layers. Then I duplicated the triangle and flipped it horizontally to make it symmetrical. Then I used the triangles to make a hexagon that had lines of symmetry from each corner to its opposite corner. Then, I duplicated the hexagon enough times to fill up the photoshop page and it made a kaleidoscope effect. 

I made 3 different kaleidoscopes. Each has a horizontal line of symmetry. However some hexagons were easier to line up than others.
