 7th and 8th grade students worked together on this project. Students engaged with tessellations in their math classes, and then came to the art room to learn about a famous artist and create their own art.  Students explored the artworks of MC Escher. Students learned about Escher's use of shapes, depth, and tessellations in his artwork.  Then students voted on what type of tessellation they wanted to create. After choosing their tessellations, students applied their knowledge of shape, movement, pattern, and color or greyscale, to create an original artwork.  Each student then had the opportunity to connect their work with classmates in one tessellating work of art.  Check out our work in the upstairs hallway, and photographed below:
