How I made my Tile
Pre Plan On 8.5-11
Final Poster/Written Response
Halloween man
My tessellation is of a witch at night. The idea of this being my tessellation came from me making my shape and seeing what I could draw on the inside of It. The idea came up when I was drawing a book inside my tessellation and I thought of Halloween. I then saw how to draw my image. The reason I Choice the theme of Halloween Is because it is at the end of this month and there is a lot of talk about it. What I really wanted to do though is see what I could create out of an odd shape with just my mind. All together the Theme/Idea behind my tessellation is Halloween to favor the season.
With my Tessellation I started out with a square but even before that to create the Square I started with a circle. I used the circle to make the square by first splitting the circle in half then making a perpendicular bisector. This helped me get four spots on the circle that I connected to make a perfect Square. Next what I did is I cut out the square and on the right side and the bottom a cut out part of the Square. I taped the parts that I had cut out on the opposite side that I had cut from to make my tessellation. Finally after cutting everything out I had my polygon or my tessellation. That is how I made my tessellation.
In my own opinion I Think that tessellations are art in the end even though they are part of math. They’re many reasons why I think tessellations are art. To begin I think they are art because the amount of coloring and drawing I have done to create my own. The definition of art is “creative activity resulting in the production of paintings, drawings, or sculpture.” And in this project we have a lot of drawings. Next, I believe Tessellations are art because of all the artist that make tessellations and clam that is art. For example one artist is Maurits Cornelius Escher. He is known for his drawings and tessellations that everyone calls arts. The Final reason I think that Tessellations are art is because of my personal knowledge of art and seeing it all around the world. When I went to the Louve in Paris France I saw thousands of paintings and drawings and I saw tessellations in all of them. All together I think tessellations are art because of history and the definition of art.
