Today was our fourth day of passion projects and it was quite an interesting lesson (if you don't know what passion projects is- refer to my first day blog of Passion Projects). Today we learned about meanders and what they look like in everyday usage.
A meander is a repeated pattern or motif, usually constructed from a continuous line. Meanders are common decorative elements in ancient Greek and Roman art and often appear in mosaics and on pottery.
These are patterns that look quite similar to mazes and are made through various transformations and symmetry. We can see these patterns on fences, on ancient Greek relics, and even on carpets. Here are my two worksheets that I have done on meanders and I tried to make my own one (did not exactly go well).
I found these hard at first, but then found how easy it gets as I had just repeated the patterns, which leads to brain memory kicking in.
Hi Cameron
ReplyDeleteThis is another informative post, this time about meanders. I like that you have explained where we find meanders as I know that we will be spotting these all over the place now!
