Patterns with Stars and Pentagons

Experience the never ending patterns with Stars and Pentagons.

This is an “Ah Ha!” moment. When you suddenly see how one star creates another and another.

Starting with five points we can mark simple lines that join alternate dots to create the five pointed star. But it doesn’t stop there.

The five pointed star continues outwards and inwards on all scales to produce stars and pentagons that spill over into your imaginations and enthusiasm.

Infinite Stars and Pentagons

Download this simple drawing exercise to begin your journey into the infinite world of stars and pentagons. Make it an experience.
