In part 3 of this series, I want to share about two books I love to use when my middle school students explore symmetry.
One Hundred Flowers by Harold Feinstein is a gorgeous photography book of flowers up close. The images are bold, elegant, and eye catching. The students eagerly work together to create group shapes. The images inspire the students to think about symmetry, line, shape, and inner/outer.
With a totally different feel and look, I also love exploring symmetry with the images in the photography book Manhole Covers by Mimi Melnick and Robert A. Melnick. I am an explorer in the world for inspiration, and I love finding details in nature and in the city that I can bring into our dance classes. The students find the manhole covers to be fun and quirky; the images again inspire the students to explore and play with symmetry, line, shape, and group work.
I found both books used on amazon.com at great prices. Looking today, I see that you can get One Hundred Flowers for around $19 and Manhole Covers for only $12.
