Escher-type Tessellations by Reflection
Polygons that can be used:
2. Rotate that design around the 120 degree vertex and trace the design on the other congruent side.
3. The third side will serve as the line of reflection. Flip the design over this line and trace. You should end up with a tessellation piece with a vertical line of reflection in the center.
4. You now have a completed tessellation piece. Use your imagination to decide what your piece looks like and fill in some details.
5. On a piece of paper trace out the shape near the center of the paper. From there, continue to fill the entire piece of paper with the tessellating shape, as though you where building a puzzle in which all of the pieces were the same. |
