Last week we learned about radial symmetry by looking at nature and art. An image that is in both art and nature is the sun. It has radial symmetry since it is in a shape of a circle. Artist have used images of the sun to create work including painting, mosaic and sculpture. You will get a chance to create a sun. Next month will be the official day of summer and we know that the weather will get hot when the sun is out! Let's get some inspriation from art and nature.

After looking at these ideas let's get started creating your own sun face. Here is my sun. I used straight lines and triangle shapes for the rays of the sun. You can make lines, wavy lines or alternate like the Smithsonian logo. I made his face with a smile and green eyes. I used warm colors for the sun and a cool color background. You can choose any colors your want. You are the artist. Have fun and be creative! Don't forget to email me your sun faces.
