tesselation art By JoJo

I love doing tesselation art and so do my students. It takes a few days to complete them well. I use only a square pattern (3 or 4 inch) and allow two "slices and slides" one from each of two adjacent sides. The students

tesselate the pattern over a 12 by 18 inch construction paper. Then, they decide what the shape resembles for detail and coloring. I recommend only a two alternating color pattern. This is hard to explain, but this site may help: http://www.tessellations.org/slicemethod-ex1-3.htm This site has a pretty good explanation

too (scroll down a bit to the assignment):
