1. It’s a Designer Original Josef Guarin Block 3 Geometry H

2. My Inspiration from Design By Humans © The black spiral pentagons have a dilation scale factor of 5/3 from the central pentagon to the surrounding pentagons. The colored hexagons are reflected over one of their sides. Gradually the side of reflection moves clockwise (60° of the center of each hexagon) to allow the colored hexagons to tessellate.

3. First Design: Geometric Winter Start off with a white regular hexagon, with sides 0.5 inches long, on a blue background.

4. First Design: Geometric Winter Reflect the hexagon vertically so that the second hexagon is next to the first one. Translate the first hexagon 0.5 inches to the right to create the second hexagon. B. Reflection or E. Translation

5. First Design: Geometric Winter Reflect the second hexagon over its top side so that it is directly above where it used to be. Translate the hexagon 0.5 inches up from where it was. B. Reflection or E. Translation

6. First Design: Geometric Winter Translate the first and second hexagons 1 inch to the right to create the third and fourth hexagons. E. Translation

7. First Design: Geometric Winter Translate the fourth hexagon 0.5 inches down, then 0.5 inches to the right. E. Translation

8. First Design: Geometric Winter Dilate the fifth hexagon with a scale factor of 2. A. Dilation

9. First Design: Geometric Winter Reflect the pattern from the left half of the hexagon to the right, so that there are a total of 9 hexagons and the left side is symmetrical to the right side. B. Reflection & D. Symmetry

10. First Design: Geometric Winter Reflect the design over the horizontal line of symmetry of the rectangle. There should now be 18 hexagons. B. Reflection & D. Symmetry

11. First Design: Geometric Winter Place a white right triangle, with legs 1 inch long, in a way that makes it equidistant from the first hexagon and its corresponding hexagon if the triangle was used to create a parallelogram.

12. First Design: Geometric Winter Rotate the right triangle 90° clockwise of the midpoint of the hypotenuse, then translate 1 inch to the right. C. Rotation & E. Translation

13. First Design: Geometric Winter Repeat the last step three more times. (Rotate the new right triangle 90° clockwise of the midpoint of its hypotenuse then translate the shape 1 inch to the right.) C. Rotations & E. Translations

14. Second Design: Checkered X Start off with a red pentagon that is similar to an arrow in the upper-left mid-center of a grey background.

15. Second Design: Checkered X Rotate the pentagon 90° clockwise of the tip of the arrow, and make it now blue. C. Rotation

16. Second Design: Checkered X Reflect the two pentagons horizontally over the line of symmetry formed by them, to add two additional pentagons that are green and yellow to create an “X”. Repeat the previous step two more times with the newest pentagon. B. Reflection & D. Symmetry or C. Rotation

17. Second Design: Checkered X Place a black square with a side length of 1.18 inches in the upper left corner.

18. Second Design: Checkered X Dilate the square from its upper left corner with a scale factor of ½ to make the sides of a smaller grey square 0.59 inches. A. Dilation

19. Second Design: Checkered X Translate the small grey square 0.59 inches down, the 0.59 inches to the right to create a second grey square. E. Translation

20. Second Design: Checkered X Translate the pattern that occupies the black square 1.18 inches down the left side of the “X”. Repeat the last four steps on the right side of the “X”. E. Translation
