Tessellations
by Carol Sulik, 5th grade Math Teacher
1995-1996 School Year
Introduction
M. C. Escher was a Dutch artist who lived from 1898 - 1971. Many of his
drawings were tessellations. Instead of using the usual polygons, like triangles
and squares to tessellate, he liked to create pictures of horses, fish, salamanders,
and birds that he could tessellate.
