TILING Wallpaper groups
Maths + Informatics + Art We created symmetrical artworks by using the program Kali . http://www.geometrygames.org/Kali/index.html Another tool we used was Paint (or Paintbrush), a component of Windows.

A little bit of geometry What is tiling of the plane ? It is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. Mathematicians say that there are 17 wallpaper groups.
The Theory of Wallpaper Groups is too complicated, but everyone can discover some interesting things. A symmetry of a pattern isa way of transforming the pattern so that the pattern looks exactly the same after the transformation.
Most of the Transformations are well known: • translation • rotation • reflection (mirror)
Glide Reflection combines a reflection with a translation along the direction of the mirror line
What geometric transformationare found inwallpaper patterns? It is different for each group. • the only one (e.g. translation) • a combination of two or three ones • multiple using (e.g. two rotation centres or two reflexion axes and so on) • both combination and multiple using
Enough of Theory. Visit our gallery and have a look at our works. If you are interested in geometry, you may try exercises. Main Menu
Which transformation was used? Two perpendicular axes + rotation (center )
