Six Division of the Circle | Snowflake Geometry 

I underestimated the difficulty of this lesson. I thought it would be easy, fun and quick. And at first it wasn't and then later, it was only slightly more fun, but still challenging and slow. Firstly, make your radius about 2.5 inches or less, as a big radius makes for too big of a snowflake and much harder to get lines and shapes straight. Once you construct your circle and divide it by six (see previous lessons), you may add some concentric circles at equal increments to make constructing your snowflake easier.

Looking at inspiration pictures of snowflakes (or photographs of actual snowflakes) will be helpful. As snowflakes are each unique, you won't find two exactly the same, but you will see similar elements like structures on the 6 radiating arms, or hexagon shaped snowflakes and you may even find triangle and 12-pointed snowflakes, though for this exercise, I recommend sticking to a traditional 6-sided snowflake.

Once your circles are constructed, it's time to have creative fun in constructing your unique snowflake. Use pencil, make sure each arm is the same and be mindful of expected shapes, as everything is quite angular and not circular. You may even lightly erase your initial circles.

For this lesson you will need a compass, ruler and pencil.
