Tessellation!
Last week we learnt about Tessellation.
This can be described as a pattern being repeated over & over again to create a piece of art work.
We searched on the Internet to find an artist who used this in their work.
I looked at an artist called Escher.
In my opinion his art work was detailed and it looked like he had spent a lot of time on each one.
We then made 'Verity's Kite'. We made this using Origami.
This required careful folding so that the kites were correct.
Adding all the angles of the kite together = 360 degrees.
If made correctly the kite fits together without any gaps to make a Tessellation.
