Use the ideas discussed in class to create your own Escher-type tessellation. Your tessellation should feature some definite and recognizable motif (animal, figure, plant, etc.) and the images should fit together and interlock so as to leave no negative space. (You will probably have to do a good bit of scratch work before coming up with a usable pattern.) You may use any medium, but be sure the image extends far enough so that the repetitive patterns are clearly visible.

Please be sure that the grid that your tessellation is based on is still visible in your finished product. (Or provide some means of showing me how the grid fits your drawing. For example, you could provide the grid on a transparent overlay.) I will need to see the grid when evaluating the mathematical basis of your work.

Grades will be awarded on the basis of visual appeal, cleverness, originality, mathematical accuracy and complexity.
