MC Escher Tessellations




This week we are going to continue exploring MC Escher's work by creating a tessellation.  You need a piece of white paper, a pencil, tape, a straight edge and scissors.  Please follow these four steps which I think is a simplified version of what we looked at last week.  Once you have completed this four step process and have your shape create a series of five that are inter-connected.  

After you have the five tracings of this shape create a transition of shapes/designs/drawings on the first one with organic lines and on the last one with geometric lines (make sure to use your straight edge).  Do your best to create a gradual transition using the remaining three shapes in between.  
Please go back and refresh your memory for ideas by looking at Escher's work before you begin.  

Have fun and please email with questions.  Email me images of where you are at my Monday the 18th.
