My Best in Each Symmetry Group — P6

Surprisingly, I never would have thought that this symmetry group would end up being a favourite. A tight area where a 6-fold rotation occurs, at the corner of a triangle. The other two corners offer 3 way rotation and 2 way rotation. This repeated 6 times in a hexagon. This is the nerdy way to explain it, not really the best way. Twenty five in the slideshow below!

Only 2 lines to draw in this symmetry group to enclose your nested shape. Link the two and three way rotation points, with a nice wavy or rambling line. Then from anywhere on that line, link it to the six-way rotation point. I’ll be showing all of these techniques in video format once the Skillshare classes are complete.

See if you can locate the three different rotation points!

Hope you enjoy.
