1.Address what is well known for this beadwork.
Native beadwork is known for it's beauty.
2.What is a key concept you will be using in this lesson?
We are connecting beadwork to coordinate graphing.
3.What type of symmetry is this design type based on?
Four fold symmetry.
4.In Four Fold Symmetry #1, what do the 4 types of images have in common with geometric images?
They are all symmetrical vertically and horizontally.
5. List the 4 images.
Plains Indians embroidery, shoshone beadwork, pawnee buffalo hide drum, and a Navajo rug.
6. In Four Fold Symmetry #2 Explain what is reflection symmetry.
Each side is a mirror image of the other.
7.Give an example of base 4 counting in Native American culture that is common.
They made tepees with four poles in the ground holding it up.
8.Four fold symmetry #3 what is it commonly used for? Give an example
Navajo believed symmetry represented a balance in forces and used drawings to heal. They drew symmetrical pictures in dust to be blown away with the wind, symbolically also blowing away illness.
9. Give an example of how four fold symmetry #4 is shown and used.
Eskimos used symmetry to make parkas, and developed the coordinate system to be sure everything is perfectly symmetrical.
10.How is four fold symmetry #5 shown? What type?
They used a coordinate graph like system with a bead loom to make symmetrical designs in beads.
They used a coordinate graph like system with a bead loom to make symmetrical designs in beads.
11.When was Native American Beadwork created?
Long before European contact.
Long before European contact.
12. Name 2 examples of how these designs were used.
To make clothing and even their tepees were made symmetrical with 4 poles facing in every direction (north south east and west). Also to make rugs and blankets.
