Flips, and Turns, and Slides...Oh My!

Today we joined forces with Mrs. Bohn's math class to examine geometry in art. We studied the works of M.C. Escher and tessellations. Then we tried our hands at creating our own tiling designs. First we created the pattern and then traced it to create a repeating design on paper. As we were tracing, we all noticed that our pictures began to look like something familiar. Without realizing it, our students drew elephants, birds, butterflies, chicks, dinosaurs, and ladies with funny hats. MC Escher is an inspiring artist and we enjoyed having the opportunity to create art in his style.

Please excuse the blurry photos!
