The task in the image is to
complete each picture by drawing the other half, based on
symmetry. The images are split vertically down the middle, and you need to mirror the left side onto the right side to create a symmetrical whole.
Let’s go through each of the four pictures one by one and describe how to complete them:
---
1. Ladybug (Top Left)
-
What's shown: Half of a ladybug with:
- A round body
- Two dots on the shell
- One antenna
- Part of the head and legs
-
How to complete:
- Draw the
mirror image of the left side.
- Add the second half of the body, making it round and symmetric.
- Mirror the two dots on the opposite side.
- Add the
second antenna on the right side.
- Complete the legs and head so they match the left side.
>
✔ Result: A full, symmetrical ladybug.

2. T-Shirt (Top Right)
-
What's shown: Half of a T-shirt with:
- A collar
- One sleeve
- A straight vertical line for the center
-
How to complete:
- Mirror the sleeve on the right side.
- Draw the same shape for the collar on the right.
- Ensure the bottom edge is straight and even.
- The shirt should look balanced from both sides.
>
✔ Result: A symmetrical T-shirt.

3. House (Bottom Left)
-
What's shown: Half of a house with:
- A triangular roof
- A door (arched top)
- A window (rectangular)
- A chimney on the left side
-
How to complete:
- Mirror the roof to make a full triangle.
- Draw the
other half of the door and window.
- Add the
chimney on the right side (if not already there).
- Make sure the base is level and symmetrical.
>
✔ Result: A symmetrical house with a balanced roof, door, window, and chimney.

4. Flower (Bottom Right)
-
What's shown: Half of a flower with:
- Three petals visible on the left
- A central circle (flower center)
-
How to complete:
- Mirror the three petals to the right side.
- Draw three more petals to complete the flower.
- The flower should have six petals total, arranged evenly around the center.
- The center circle should be fully visible.
>
✔ Result: A symmetrical flower with six petals.

🔍 Summary of Symmetry Principle:
Symmetry means that
one side is a mirror image of the other. To solve:
1. Look at the left half.
2. Imagine a mirror placed along the vertical line.
3. Draw what you would see in the mirror — the same shapes, sizes, and positions, but flipped.
---
✔ Final Answer:
You complete each image by
drawing the mirror image of the left half on the right side. This results in:
- A full ladybug
- A full T-shirt
- A full house
- A full flower
Each completed picture will be
symmetrical along the vertical axis.
