Tessellations

Tessellation information is found on pages 154 and 196. A complete rubric is provided in class for the tessellation project.

Original tessellation (not traced or printed from a computer), either a translational tessellation or rotational tessellation. Ideal tessellations will include colors, have a more complicated, smaller-sized pattern, have extra detail to make a recognizable design (and a title!), and will be presented on an 8.5 x 11" sheet of plain paper.

Completing this project requires:
1. Colored 8.5 x 11 piece of plain paper
2. Pattern used (preferably 2.5" x 2.5" or smaller) taped to the back of the tessellation

MC Escher in all his awesomeness


MC Escher is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. Along with tessellations (now required by the district for you), he is famous for many other art works.
