This month our art study was on Tessellations. We learned a little about Escher. http://www.precisionstrobe.com/jc/eschertiles/eschertiles.html I am really sad that I forgot to
take my camera to the group. I shot these pictures of my children's work after we got home.
For the process you make a pattern out of cardstock or cardboard, then you trace the pattern repeatedly on paper. You color the images alternating colors. This allows for a negative space and a postive space. But each space is the same design. It was really neat to learn how to do it.
