tessellations






tessellation or tiling of the plane is a pattern of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of parts of the plane or of other surfaces. Generalizations to higher dimensions are also possible. Tessellations frequently appeared in the art of M. C. Escher, who was inspired by studying the Moorish use of symmetry in the Alhambra tiles during a visit in 1922. Tessellations are seen throughout art history, from ancient architecture to modern art.







the simplest design. I wasn't to excited about this way of making tessellation's so I focused more on the triangular one and object one. 













owl design i was working on. I shall continue in the future to complete this beautiful work. Perhaps during the holday bizarre i shall make a painting of it
