Kaleidoscope image
"Kaleidoscope" is a Greek word for viewing something beautiful through an instrument. A kaleidoscope produces an image with eight points. The image may be made from paper using either a drawn or cut-out design to form the symmetrical pattern seen through the lens of a kaleidoscope. Some of the most beautiful kaleidoscope images are very complicated, with several shapes, sizes and colors of symmetrical designs.

Procedure
1. Lightly draw a line dividing a sheet of construction paper in halves, both vertically and horizontally. Lightly draw a line dividing the paper diagonally from both sets of corners.
2. Draw or cut a symmetrical design and place it on the intersecting lines at the middle of the paper.
3. Draw or cut eight symmetrical designs. Place one on the same location on each of the eight lines radiating from the middle of the paper. Repeat this process until the lines are covered.
4. Draw or cut eight symmetrical designs to place in the same location in each of the eight pie-shaped spaces. Repeat this process until each area has the desired number of shapes in place.
