Bead Work

Bead work is known for beauty. The key concept I will be using in this lesson is mathematical concepts in its embodies. The type of summitry this design is based on is the Four-fold symmetry. The four images all have symmetry. The four images are Embroidery, Plains Indians,shoshone,Pawnee Buffalo Hide Drum, Navajo rug. Reflection symmetry is when one half of a picture or design is the exact same as the other half but on a different side. One example of base 4 counting is how tepees were often made with four base poles, each placed in one of 4 directions. Symmetry 3 was mostly used for Navajo sand painting. symmetry 4 is used for native design and an example is a coat. Symmetry 5 is shown by bead bloom and the type is Cartesian coordinate system. Bead work was created before Europeans Arrived. These designs were used to record messages and historic events, and to help with Math and Science.
