UNIT 5: TRIANGLES AND QUADRILATERALS

TRIANGLES 

	A triangle has three sides and three angles
	The three angles always add to 180°

TYPES OF TRIANGLES

QUADRILATERALS

Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four, lateral means side). Any four-sided shape is a Quadrilateral. But the sides have to be straight, and it has to be 2-dimensional 

TYPES OF QUADRILATERALS

General Properties 

• Four sides (edges)
• Four vertices or vertexes (corners)
• The interior angles add up to 360 degrees:

Try drawing a quadrilateral, and measure the angles. They should add to 360°

Individual Properties

UNIT 4: BISECTORS

UNIT 4: BISECTORS

It is time to get started with the compass! We will draw two VERY IMPORTANT constructions, used in technical drawing to construct almost everything, EVEN A KITE!

It is CRUCIAL that you learn how to do them by observing and practising. SO LETS DO IT!:

PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR LINE

Definition:

The perpendicular bisector is a PERPENDICULAR line that DIVIDES a line segment into TWO EQUAL parts. It also makes a right angle with the line segment. Each point on the perpendicular bisector is at the same distance from each of the endpoints of the original line segment.

It is basically a line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°.

  

 

ANGLE BISECTOR LINE

Definition: 

It is a line that DIVIDES the angle in TWO EQUAL parts.

UNIT 5: NOTABLE POINTS AND LINES OF THE TRIANGLE

NOTABLE POINTS OF THE TRIANGLE:

CIRCUMCENTER, INCERTER, ORTHOCENTER

The INCENTER and CIRCUMCENTER of an EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE are in the exact same point.

UNIT 6: THE COLOUR WHEEL, ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS.

COLOUR WHEEL WITH COLOUR PENCILS

Draw a 6 cm radius circumference and divide it in 12 equal parts, then colour the primary, secondary and tertiary colours (in this order) using only the three primary colour pencils. Write the names of the colours and divide it in two parts, indicating warm and cool colour schemes.

 

INTERACTIVE COLOUR ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS

• Color Shecheme Designer: working with warm and colod colors, opposite ones... and colorblind.

• Color Palette Generator. Enter the URL of an image to get a color palette that matches the image. This is useful for coming up with a website color palette that matches a key image a client wants to work with.

• Color Hunter. A similar one.

• Colour Method. A fantastic game to help you understand the colour wheel. It is created for Method of Action, which is a collection of tools, games and articles to help you learn design.
