If you want to make a mosaic you have to fill the wall with a repetition or figures.
You can find the best mosaics at The Alhambra in Granada.

It’s very easy to design mosaics with regular poligons. For example:
Squares
Equilateral triangules
Hexagons

These are the three most common and easy to design figures:
- The bone- The plane- The crane

The shape starts as a square. And the final result is a shape with the same area but
