Do you TESSELLATE?

This is always a fun unit to teach. I enjoy seeing what each art student will create. Have you ever taught tessellations? If not, check out the resources below. It is an awesome way to collaborate with other subject areas in your division. I have taught this at the elementary level and middle school level and it is a successful lesson. Plus you can add in a great amount of art history with M.C. Escher, too. If you have had success in this lesson, please comment below. Would love to see your results.

We have blogged on Tessellations before on the blog. check out the links here:
