Underwater mystery. Circles.





Looking for inspiration:




Let's create our circles!

Photograph by Yoji Ookata and NHK. This will be your original model to interpretate.
Technical drawing:
  1. Create an hexagon. 
  2. Let's divide each side in halves (perpendicular bisector) and you will get a dodecagon (12 sides)
  3. Repeat again the same process. We will get 24 sides! (Icosakaitetrágono son los polígonos de 24 lados, in Spanish)
  4. Some concentrical circles and... your design.
Artwork for 3rd ESO C:
We will use tissue paper to create shapes (2D and 3D).

Artwork for 3rd ESO A and B:
We will use wool and a piece of wood to creat an star polygon.


Ready to design your mystery circle on a paper or on wood?

Underwater mystery. Presenting the mystery

PRESENTING THE MYSTERY. Brainstorming!


According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration less than five percent of the world's oceans have been explored, meaning that 95% of what lies deep underwater on Earth has yet to be seen by human eyes.

Yoji Ookata, a freelance underwater photographer, while diving in the semi-tropical region of Amami Oshima (Japan), roughly 80 ft below sea level, discovered something he had never seen. And as it turned out, no one else had seen it before either.

Scan this QR code to see the localization on your mobile dispositive.



This is what Yoji saw:
Photograph by Yoji Ookata and NHK
On the seabed a geometric, circular structure measuring roughly 6.5 ft in diameter had been precisely carved from sand. It consisted of multiple ridges, symmetrically jutting out from the center.



The mystery circle appeared to be the work of an underwater artist, carefully working with tools.
A drafting compass? Ruler? Set squares?

What do you think?
