PROJECT: CD MANDALAS MOBILE

PROJECT:  CD MANDALA MOBILE

Let´s pratice the Geometrical Constructions by designing our own MANDALA and paint it in a CD.

NOW LET'S GET STARTED WITH THE CD

YOU WILL NEED...

1. CDs to recycle

1. YOUR MANDALA

1. A paintbrush

1. Relief paint or permanent markers

1. Glass or acrylic paint

1. Enthusiasm and creativity

STEP BY STEP

PEEL THE CD

There are several methods: either in boiling water or cut a piece of adhesive tape, stick it firmly onto the CD, and pull sharply. Using a cutter, carefully make a radial cut on the side of the CD with the aluminium. Do this very gently, taking care not to damage the plastic as much as possible. 

COPY YOUR MANDALA TO THE CD 
AND ASSEMBLE THE MOBILE

UNIT 2: TANGENTS

TANGENCY

WHAT IS A TANGENT? 

A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at one point.

UNIT 3: TANGENTS AND GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS

Well, now that the first part (POLYGONS and the BASIC CONSTRUCTIONS) is over you should be ready for the second and final part: TANGENCIES, GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS AND a few things about DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY.

The WORKSHEETS and NOTES can be found for each area:

A- Worksheets HERE.for TANGENCIES. Check the NOTES
B- Worksheets HERE for GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS. Check the NOTES.

And this time I suggest you work using the theory and practice from the NOTES.
