Reconstruction of the 2016 Sparticles Wood formation | ||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
2. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 two times, to its lefthand intersection with the horizontal, and to its upper intersection with the vertical centerline. |
3. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the mutual intersections of circles 2. |
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with one angular point on line 3. |
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 4. Steps 4 and 5 are repeated seven times, each time for the previous square and circle. |
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 5, with one angular point on line 3. |
7. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 6. |
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 7, with one angular point on line 3. |
9. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 8. |
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 9, with one angular point on line 3. |
11. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 10. |
12. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 11, with one angular point on line 3. |
13. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 12. |
14. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 13, with one angular point on line 3. |
15. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 14. |
16. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 15, with one angular point on line 3. |
17. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 16. |
18. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 17, with one angular point on line 3. |
19. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 18. |
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. |
21. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 20 at the upper side. |
22. | ![]() | Draw four rays of circle 1, from the center to its intersections with the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
23. | ![]() | Circles 1 and 21, squares 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14, and lines 22 are used for the final reconstruction. |
24. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
25. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
26. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2016 Sparticles Wood formation. |
27. | ![]() | The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
