Tessellation Art
We made these tessellations using black cardboard, water pastels and silver paint. First students traced around a shape of their choice. Plastic or wood shapes work better, as cardboard templates tend to bend when they are repeatedly traced around. Students were then asked to colour the shapes in with the pastels. Some chose to 'paint' over the top with water. When they were dry, we painted lines around each shape. I used a paint bottle with a small nozzle, but a tube or thin paint brush might work just as well. We did this over 3-4 days, as some students chose to use more than one shape or quite small shapes. They all enjoyed it and loved the end result, but it did take a lot of patience.
