Ndebele Inspired Designs (5th Grade)

These beautiful symmetrical designs are inspired by the house painting of the Ndebele tribe. The class discussed the meaning behind the Ndebele house painting and how their designs are comprised of Geometric shapes and bright, bold colors. Then each student created their own symmetrical design! Some of these are unfinished, but I'm happy with how they're turned out, especially since this was my first attempt at teaching this lesson!

Vocab: symmetry/symmetrical, radial symmetry, geometric, organic, shape, line, color
