Tessellations Project FIRST THING’S FIRST: get inspired! M.C. Escher made some amazing art , including awesome tessellations. Here is a cool video on how to make the type of tessellations that appear in Islamic tile art. Here is another resource on Islamic tessellation art (it is aimed at teachers). Pick a tessellation art piece to be your inspiration. You don’t have to try to imitate it, just be inspired. Learn some things. Some definitions - what are tessellations? What are isometries? Any other terms someone who has no idea about geometry stuff should know? Some history - a little about islamic tile art or Escher, depending on which piece your inspiration comes from. Write these down (very neatly) or type them. Make your own tessellation, either in the manner of the Islamic art video, or like this site. The due date is __________________ Include anything else that seems like it would add to the project.
