Tessellations — History on tessellations and M. C. Escher along with many photo examples to get students thinking about how they look, are designed and fit together. Includes easy way to create a tessellation and a more advanced technique. The advanced method includes instructions and an additional page of photo examples because it is a little tricky but well worth the effort and always comes out great. Use as a stand alone lesson or combine and segway into optical illusions and impossible shapes. Perfect for STEAM projects. I use this along with my study on Optical Illusions worksheets and my Art & Geometry/Math: M.C. Escher Drawing Impossible Shapes & Tessellations *********************************************************************** Hope Creek Studios specializes in Art Studio and History, Photography and Graphic Design lessons and creative aids.

This Escher Inspired Tessellation Art for Kids will keep kids busy for hours! Tessellation art is the perfect mix of art and math, & is inspired by Escher!
For this lesson, i turned completely to you tube videos. The kids love it and then I don’t have to worry about getting my thoughts in sequential order. Video links are available at the bottom of post. I taught this lesson to both 3rd grade and 6th grade. Although I explained how to make your own

Okay, here are the lessons in the new rotation! 5th - We are looking at M.C. Escher and how he made Tessellations. We are also making our own version of his Tessellations by making our own stencils. In 4th we...
This is a Fine art wood puzzle of a tesselating pattern of birds. This is an original tessellating pattern inspired by the great M.C. Escher. Each piece has a magnet on back and a metal sheet in the frame. This is so the puzzle pieces will not fall once assembled and you can hang on the wall. Measurements are 13" x 13". Hardware for wall hanging and scratchproof footers are included.
Tessellations are a fun, hands-on way to explore STEAM, whether you are in art class, math class, or in a STEM or STEAM classroom. Certain basic shapes can be easily tessellated:
Teach your kids art history with this MC Escher inspired art project, and sneak a little math into your lesson as well!
Artwork in used condition. Carefully packed tracked shipment. Measuring 83 x 38 cm. With "Up and Down" Escher shows his unique artistic talent. Artist Biography: Maurits Cornelis (Mauk) Escher (Leeuwarden, June 17, 1898 – Hilversum, March 27, 1972) was a Dutch artist, known for his woodcuts, wood engravings and lithographs, in which he often played with mathematical principles. He signed his work with MCE. His engravings often depict impossible constructions, studies of infinity and fitting geometric patterns (divisions) that gradually change into completely different shapes. Some of the well-known scenes he drew were designed around impossible objects such as the Penrose Stairs. It was not until the 1950s that he became more widely recognized as an artist, especially in the US. Crystallographers and mathematicians discovered symmetries and themes from their fields in his work. Escher's graphic work has been used in scientific (teaching) books since 1960.[2] In the 1960s, to his surprise, his work was embraced by hippies and pop stars because of its fantastic parallel worlds.
