3. Fill in the blank: A design that repeats without gaps or overlaps is called a ____________.

4. Which word describes a pattern that is used again and again?

repetition

reflection

B. Reflection (flip)

C. Rotation (turn)

___ The shape turns around

___ The shape moves without turning

___ The shape flips over

7. A motif is moved to the right without changing its direction. Circle the transformation.

rotation (turn)

8. How could you check whether an angle in an artwork is exactly 90°? Circle one.

Use a tool or give evidence from the artwork.

Guess by looking at the colour.
