Bilateral Symmetry

• It is symmetry that can be divided directly in
  half and allow for the same picture on either
  side.
• If you were to split the slide picture in half
  going from left to right, you would have the same
  picture.

Radial Symmetry

• Radial symmetry is when you can turn an object or
  picture in a circle and the picture would look
  the same no matter the perspective.
• An example of radial symmetry is a childs
  pinwheel.
