Drawing your own Mazes and Labyrinths

Some of the earliest mazes and labyrinths we know of were found in Egypt and in Crete, dating back over 4000 years. One of the most famous of these is the seven-circuit Cretan labyrinth, which we shall be learning how to draw. According to one definition, mazes have many branching paths, with only one path leading to the centre or exit, whereas labyrinths are unicursal (or single-pathed). The Romans built many mosaic labyrinths, which were typically found in the entrance halls of their villas. In Greek mythology the Cretan king Minos owned a labyrinth in which lurked the Minotaur – a half man, half bull creature who ate anyone lost in the labyrinth... Mazes are still very popular today, with many large ones found in the grounds of parks and stately homes. Mazes and labyrinths

Drawing a branching maze You will need: some squared paper a pencil a good eraser and a ruler

Drawing a branching maze Using squared paper and a pencil, draw out a rectangle with an odd number of squares on each side, e.g: 11 squares 15 squares

Drawing a branching maze Then, using your pencil, heavily shade in alternate squares on every other row.. These squares will become part of the walls of your maze.

Drawing a branching maze Next, very lightly shade in the next set of alternate squares, but on every row this time. These squares will either be part of the paths, or part of the walls.

Drawing a branching maze Next, very lightly shade in the next set of alternate squares, but on every row this time. The white squares will be part of the paths.

Drawing a branching maze Time to create the path! Make an entrance by erasing one of the lightly shaded squares on the edge. Then continue erasing lightly shaded squares to make a winding path to an exit.

Drawing a branching maze Now to fool people. Start creating new paths coming off this first path, but make them lead to dead ends.

Drawing a branching maze Next heavily shade in the remaining lightly shaded wall squares. Start Finish Finally label the entrance and exit.

Drawing a branching maze Your branching maze is complete! Now to test it on unsuspecting victims Start Finish The larger your maze is, the more difficult you can make it…

Drawing a labyrinth You will need: some plain paper a pencil a good eraser and a pair of compasses

Drawing a labyrinth Using plain paper, a pencil and a ruler, and starting in the middle, make a set of 9 tiny vertical dots 1 cm apart from each other.

Drawing a labyrinth Placing your compass point on the bottom dot, make a set of 8 concentric semi-circles.

Drawing a labyrinth Now place your compass point on the bottom right-hand edge of the second smallest semicircle.

Drawing a labyrinth Make a set of 6 concentric quarter circles using this point as the centre and extending the original 6 outer circles.

Drawing a labyrinth Now place your compass point on the bottom left-hand edge of the third smallest semicircle.

Drawing a labyrinth This time make a set of 5 concentric quarter circles using this point as the centre and extending the original 5 outer circles.

Drawing a labyrinth Now join the edges of the second smallest quarter circles with a straight horizontal line.

Drawing a labyrinth And draw a vertical straight line down from the right hand edge of the smallest semicircle.

Drawing a labyrinth Carefully curve this round to meet the edge of the bottom right- hand quarter circle.

Drawing a labyrinth Finally, complete the remaining four semi-circles.

Drawing a labyrinth Your labyrinth is complete! Now test it out: is there one single path to the centre?

Drawing a labyrinth Can you work out how to scale your labyrinth up or down?
