Sixth Task: Splitting an Area into Sections

FIRST: You have to transform a rectangle or a square, a triangle and a circle by splitting it up. The form of the figure has to be retained. You have to try in your sketchbook, using any kind of paper and gluing it on the pages. You have to create:


  • Two figures from a rectangle or a square.
  • Two figures from a triangle.
  • Two figures from a circle.
SECONDLY: Then we are going to use the second technique. Instead of splitting the parts up, this time you have to transform the figure by cutting out and folding back. This exercise requires a paper that is the same colour on both sides. The area to be cut can be a triangle, a rectangle, a square or a circle. So the exercise to be done is:

  • Two figures from a triangle, a rectangle, a square or a circle using this second technique.  

In total you have to create EIGHT new figures.

The basic rule is NEVER ADD OR TAKE AWAY. You have to use every piece of paper cut.
