4. How to make one Draw out the circle using a compass.
Measure the circle across and make sure the center is marked.
Divide the circle into 8 slices (half across, half across, then diagonally across the halves)
Trace one slice and cut out – draw a design on this slice that creates three sections down it. You must be able to illustrate two theories in the top section and middle section, and three in the smallest area of the slice. (see example)
Make a key on the side of your project paper by tracing your design on the back and transferring it. Add shading to help viewers understand the key.
Use the transfer method to add the design to all 8 slices.
