Tessellations
Jan 6th
M.C. Escher "Penrose" 1971
Today we were studying congruent figures. These are figures that have the same size and same shape. We used congruent shapes to make tessellation artwork – which is a pattern that is repeated and can cover a plane area without gaps or overlaps. We also looked at some on the Internet so I have placed links here!

Here it is! Our version of the Where I’m From poem by George Ella Lyon. We did the poem and then studied proportion in art. Our self portraits are the result of our study of facial proportions. Enjoy!
