M. C. Escher Tessellation Sketch Pad
M. C. Escher is famous for his incredible tessellations.
This applet allows you to make YOUR OWN tessellations.
Hit "Reset construction" by clicking the blue arrows in the upper right corner to start over again.
When you have an image you like, print your screen or send the file to yourself and Mr.Geibel@Gmail.com or share it with me via PUSD's Google Drive.
DIRECTIONS:
1. To begin, choose an option: Click the 3, 7, or 15 point box of "Circle Limit I" or "Circle Limit IV".
2. Familiarize yourself with how movement affects the figure. Experiment. Play. Explore. Have fun! (Note: The more points you use, the more complicated it gets.)
***You can always "Reset construction" by clicking the blue arrows in the upper right corner***
[color=#444]3. Make YOUR OWN unique tessellation and imagine what could be drawn inside. BOTH the light gray form and dark gray form MUST become an image.
4. If you like your tessellation, then print your screen (PC: Ctrl and P) (Apple: ⌘ and P). I recommend that you make at least 2 copies.
[b][i]IF YOU FINISH EARLY, KEEP CREATING!
Keep experimenting. You might stumble upon something really special. In the end, you'll use your favorite one.
