ROSETTE PATTERN (IN A GEOMETRICAL WAY)

A COMBINATION OF ROTATION OF 3 POLYGONAL DESIGNS

The geometric pattern created by our group is

actually a combination of 3 different rosette patterns of a
geometric shape overlapping with each others. At the
backmost part of the design was the rotation design of a
3-dimensional solid cube, patterned to be in a rosette
form by rotating its elements (which is the cube) around
to form a circle.

NOTE AND TRIVIA:

A rosette pattern describes the possible symme-
tries of a geometrical shape or figure. The repetition as-
pects of a symmetry describes The whole figure to be
somewhat alike to a rose flower, so why it was named
rosette pattern. Translations or glide reflections do not
come into play. The pattern is preserved under a rotation
by certain angle. There may or may not be mirror lines,
that is, reflections that preserve it. Rosette patterns were
classified by Leonardo da Vinci. He realized that there
were two classes of rosettes: the ones with mirror lines
(reflection symmetry), like a sunflower, and the ones
without mirror lines, like a pinwheel.
Above the backmost design is a rosette pattern of
triangles that locks together to also form a circle. It over-
laps with the first design. And above those 2 designs
were the rosette pattern of 3 dimensional squares inter-
locking with each other while preserving its cyclic form of
rotation. After which, at the above and centremost part of
the design is the logo of DLSU - Dasmariñas to signify us
to be a bona fide student of this university or insti-
tution.
After sketching and colouring the designs
on a paper, it was undergone with a process of
Adobe Photoshop editing to enhance the color and
vibrancy of the design. It is also in Photoshop
where we alter the sizes while preserving the rota-
tional form of the design, thus, making it a raster-
ized photo image. Where as you can see, the final
geometric design that we came up to resembles to
a somewhat rose or floral form. And That’s the
true beauty and art of Mathematics!!
