M.C. Escher instructional worksheet for advanced tessellation design and 2 pages of examples. I found that the basic tessellation was... well, too simple! I wanted to challenge my older students and they succeeded. The trickiest part is making your template shape and I couldn't find a decent instruction sheet so I made my own. I use this along with my study on Optical Illusions worksheets and my Art & Geometry/Math: M.C. Escher Drawing Impossible Shapes & Tessellations *********************************************************************** Hope Creek Studios specializes in Art Studio and History, Photography and Graphic Design lessons and creative aids.

Tessellations are a really fun way to incorporate Math into your Art Class. Students will learn how to make 3 different types of tessellations when finished with this lesson and have one, two or even three lovely projects finished when done. What's included in this purchase?- A complete guide to Te...
Coloring pages are maybe not the most educationally sound activity out there, but if you have a kid who loves to color they can be fun for a little break. And they’re a great thing to have on…
The Dutch artist’s visual tricks and teases continue to delight and infuriate us – here is some of his best work
Relativity, 1953 Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations.

Surprise! This month's challenge artwork, M.C. Esher's Three Worlds, is a black and white affair. There's not a hue to be found, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to talk about black and white and gray. Would it surprise you to know that in the world of color theory, black and white and gray aren't considered colors at all? Color is made up of three parts: hue, value, and saturation. Hue is color distilled down to its purest form, value deals with how light or dark a hue is, and saturation deals with how dull or vivid a color is. In order to be a color, a hue needs to be present. Since there is none with black or white or gray, those aren't technically colors. They don't have a place on the color wheel the way red and blue and yellow does. It's hard, though, to think of black and white as not being colors when we see them every day. Instead, think of them as neutrals. Neutrals mix with basic hues to create a wider range of colors, which is how we get dark and light and duller shades. Neutrals are also used to help explain the other two parts of color - value and saturation. This month's color palette is a type of value scale, a gradient showing white at the top, black at the bottom, and the shades of grays in between. Value scales help artists determine how light or dark a color is by comparing it to a simple black and white value scale (like above), or by creating an entirely new one for a particular color. This shows how color reacts to black and white. The same can be done with grays and color. Where black and white affect the value, grays affect the saturation of a color. Ever wonder how a color turns dull? Chances are, gray is added to it to mute the intensity. For our purposes this month, we're sticking to the neutrals. As you collect supplies, aim for lots of different shades of gray, with touches of white and black. I see more of the darker grays, but lighter shades are present, too, if you like those better. And if you're curious about metals, stick with bright or oxidized silver tones to match Three Worlds. Have you started to plan your piece yet? Are you finding it a good challenge to work without color this month?
Fifth-graders at the elementary school in which I teach art lessons study M.C. Escher as part of their art curriculum. M.C. Escher, though most famous for his tesselations was particularly notable for his prints. This year I got a little ambitious and decided to combine the two. Here’s how it went down: First, I gave ...

Fourth graders got to do this neat mind bending project. We began by looking at the work of MC Escher who loved both math (geometry) and art. As you can see he did very planned and precise artwork! We talked about how visual illusions are artworks that tease your brain and make you think! MC Escher was a master of illusions! Students also pointed out right away that MC Escher is very good at using value (shading) to create the illusion of form (3D shapes). This was a concept that we studied earlier. Next we used pre-made tessellation animal stencils to tessellate 5 animals. It was a challenge to figure out how each of the animals fit perfectly into itself. There is always a good amount of head scratching on this step! Afterwards, I point out to the kids that it was tricky to use the pre-made stencils but imagine how much trickier it would have been to invent this art! The next class we actually created our own tessellation tile out of a square lined index card and used it to fill in the background! In order to reference MC Escher's "Drawing Hands" picture students were encouraged to cut out a photo of their own drawing hand or MC Escher's! Learning Goals: I can... - Tell about MC Escher (illusion, tessellations) - Create a tessellation - Use pattern - Use contrasting color families to make animals stand out from the background
