How to Use a Compass to Make a Geometric Design

1). Open your compass to the radius you want your circle to be. Place the point of the compass in the center of the page and move the pencil around the central point until you have an unbroken circle.
2). Place the point of the compass anywhere along the edge of the circle and draw an arc from one point on the circle through the center and to another point.
3). Place the compass point at one arc's endpoint and draw another arc. Repeat this process as many times as you like. If you have enough space on the page, you can extend the arcs to full circles to create an intricate, flower-like design known as "The Flower of Life."
4). Color in each section as desired.
