We are very fortunate this year to have some sections in our schedule for Art Enrichment. The 2nd grade class this year is coming on Wednesday's. We are doing MATH related art lessons for this particular Art Enrichment Class. We started our first lesson on "Tessellations". Ask your child if they remember what a tessellation is!
If not :).....Here's a brief definition:
•
Tessellations
are repetitive patterns of shapes that fit perfectly together across a
2-dimensional plane of space (think of how floor tiles fit together, or the
graphic artist M.C. Escher).
Who's MC Escher you ask??...the kids like to call him "MC Squishy" :) they can remember that name better,,,I can't imagine why ;)
• Maurits
Cornelis Escher, usually referred to as M. C. Escher, was a Dutch graphic
artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts,
lithographs, and mezzotints.
• Born: June 17, 1898, Netherlands
• Died: March 27, 1972, Netherlands
Look for these tessellations to come home soon!
