  1. Tessellations Using the principles of design….Patterns, balance, and Repetition

  2. What are the principles of design • They are balance, pattern, emphasis, rhythm, unity, movement, variety and proportion • They help us effectively organize our paper! This allows us to communicate visually!

  3. What are the elements of art • Line, shapes, color, texture, space, form and value. • We use them to describe art and to create our “space”

  4. What are tessellations • A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps

  5. a tessellation of triangles • a tessellation of squares • a tessellation of hexagons

  6. Who made them and why? • Tessellations involve the use of mathematical skills that help us organize our area (in our case paper) • Tessellations have been used for different reasons… • Egyptians-patterns for tiling • Modern artists-type of art

  7. Some examples of tessellations

  8. Now how do you make one? • You must make a grid on a piece of paper • 5th grade: squares : Slice method • 6th grade: Slice method • 7th grade: Radial design/Gap method • 8th grade: Radial design/gap method
