Tessellation Project
The theme behind my tessellation is penguins, to make the penguins i started with a rectangle. Once it was made I translated the tile to make the tessellation.
I believe that tessellation are art because the first known person to make them was MC Escher, an artist. However, tessellations have many math elements, and after making the tessellations for a while Escher contacted mathmatitions and made even better tessellations. I still believe that tessellations are art, even though it is on the edge of a gray area.

Making My Tile
1. I took a sticky note and cut what I thought looked like fish
2. I made a rectangle out of manila folder
3. I cut the same shape out of the rectangle
4. I traced the shape onto a poster
5. I then drew an eye onto the original cut
6. I traced the eye in the same place onto the poster
7. I colored the shapes into penguins
