M.C. Escher 1898-1972
• Escher was interested in order, repetition, and regularity.
• He often used themes in his work.
• He challenged viewers to rethink what was real.
• He used realistic detail to achieve clever visual puns and trickery.

What is a tessellation?
• A tessellation is a pattern of shapes that fit together in a way that leaves no space in between.

Tessellations
• Complex designs in which similarly shaped objects border one another to form a pattern.
• The pattern completely covers a surface area.
• The shapes interlock.
• There are NO gaps between shapes.
• Shapes do not overlap one another.

FIRST: Create your TEMPLATE
• Cut one side of your card. Tape that shape to the opposite side of your card in the same position.
• Cut a shape from the third side of your card and tape it to the opposite side of the card.
• THIS IS YOUR TEMPLATE.
• DO NOT LOSE YOUR TEMPLATE!!!!!!!!

SECOND: Design your Template
• On rough draft paper, outline your template in pencil.
• What does your shape remind you of?
• The more detail inside your shape, the better it will look!!
• Develop TWO color schemes to create your color pattern.

THIRD: Start your tessellation
• Starting anywhere on your drawing paper, trace your template.
• Fill entire page with template outline: Your template should fit together from every side!
• Add the design inside your tessellation shapes.
• Outline everything with black Sharpie.

FOURTH: Complete with Color Scheme
• With colored pencils, begin coloring your tessellation with your first chosen color scheme.
• Do this by creating a “checker board” pattern.
• Color remaining tessellations with your second color scheme.
• Remember to create value and to blend.
