STEP #2 - SIMPLE DESIGN. On one side come up with 3 different simple designs. The design must touch all four edges of the box. The design could be your first and last initial. Shapes are either black or white.
STEP #3 - TRACE DESIGN. On the other side of your drawing paper you will trace one of the designs in every box. Flip the tracing paper each time and go in a clockwise direction in each group of 4 boxes. You will create the mirror image. Shapes will connect to make a new larger shapes.
STEP #4 - FILL WITH SHARPIE. Fill your positive and negative shapes with a sharpie. Create a new pattern by alternating positive and negative spaces. When complete write your name and period # on the back.
