Tessellations

Yesterday in geometry class we talked about tessellations. Which are patterns used over and over again, a repetitive pattern. Ms. Terry left us a project for this. She told us to make a pattern so we can cover our paper with that pattern over and over again. This project is do Thursday.

Tessellations are really cool and fun to do.

These are some artists that have many tessellations:

As you see to your left two examples of tessellations. They are really fun and interesting to do. You can be really creative and going beyond just shapes.

You can see tessellations on walls, paintings, drawings, shirts, pants, notebooks, church, shoes, binders, and other different objects. They can be anywhere on everything. 

I always learn new stuff in geometry. Geometry is a fun class and as I said I enjoy being in there with Ms. Terry. I hope to learn a lot of new stuff in this amazing class. 

I didn't know that me myself was doing tessellations since ever. I've always drawn stuff similar to these drawing. I didn't know they were called this and that they are actually a type of famous art thing. I like this kinds of drawings. They are awesome, I do this kind of stuff when am bored and have nothing to do. They are hard but sometimes easy. =)
