Principles Of Design *** Symmetry

Symmetry is when a picture can be cut through the middle and both halves of the picture would be the same.



The Egyptian Sphinx was built so that it was symmetrical, see if you draw a line through the middle of it, both sides would be the same.

 

This immage is symmetrically divided at the points where the water meets land. Both sides, if it could be folded, would be exactly the same.
