Symmetry is when something looks the same on both sides, like a butterfly’s wings. Imagine drawing a line down the middle of a picture, and both sides look like mirror images of each other. Artists use symmetry to make their pictures look balanced and pleasing to the eye. It’s like when you fold a piece of paper in half and cut out a heart shape and both sides of the heart look the same.
