During geometry, we have been learning about tessellations. We talked about the amazing artist Escher, who created famous art works such as Sky and Water, where birds and fish tessellate.
A tessellation is when shapes fit together perfectly, with out over lapping or leaving any gaps. We created these sea horses using pastel and dye. In small groups, we then worked together to see how they would tessellate. We know that they don't quite fit together perfectly like a tessellation should, but we sure did learn a thing or two and now have more nice bright art for the class!
I remember last year when we did the tessellating lizards and it looks like you guys had the same experience but with sea horses. It looks like you all learnt heaps more about tessellating! They look super cool Room 7!
