Pattern Constructor
Introduction

The Pattern Constructor is designed to suit children's skills. It increases both artistic spirit and knowledge by making it easy to build beautiful patterns. At the same time a child learns the basic concepts of mathematical symmetry, rotation and sequences of transformations

The program starts from a random set of simple polygons. By pressing the buttons on the left a different transformation is applied

Investigate

Patterns Constructor is controlled by the buttons on the left. However, there is no description (on purpose!), so children need to do some research and learn what transformaton is activated by each button. The image of every button hints about its transformation

Art

Knowing the function of each button it is interesting to define a predetermined pattern – circular, hexagonal, cystal gid, etc. Patterns created with this application are free for any type of usage: backgrounds of web pages, images in a presentation or in a personal gallery
