Activity 1- Draw The Seed of Live

Draw a square 180cm . 180cm and add the midlines for the vertical and horizontal to obtain the central point. Place the compass in the centre point and draw a circle appro 70cm wide.
Draw a 2n circle the same size as the first locating its centre by making the top of the first circle.
Draw a third circle to the right of its position, its centre at the point where the first two circles intersect.
Following this pattern continue to anchor your compass where each new circle intersect with the centre circle. Ensuring all circles are identical. Then add colour or shades to represent 3D.
