POW 2

The problem was to make a Tessellation. To make a Tessellation you don’t need to start with a rectangle, you could use about any parallelogram. You can also start with any tessellation shape just by cutting and taping the index cards together. With the index card you were given you would draw some sort of line from the two left to the top right corner, after you have finished that you will draw another line going from the top left comer to the bottom left corner. Once you finished doing that you will cut those pieces out then taping it to the bottom and the other side of the card. You will repeat this step till you are finished. What I did to make the tessellation is I made all of my big pieces first then after cutting those out I did the side pieces cutting a coloring both pieces. After finishing the drawing and cutting I then taped the side pieces together same thing with the top pieces leaving the top with an open space and they bottom having a bottom pieces. The finale thing I did was color the shapes (hopefully not having the dame colors). Where would you use tessellation shapes at that was the question I had running though my head when I was doing this and I thought about Classrooms they have different shapes on rugs the wall. Even quilting shops use tessellation shape to help them quilt things together. I really liked doing this POW I think it really helped me realize that shapes can be about used for anything. I did but my write up off and I’m paying the prices by trying to get caught up on everything. But I did really enjoy working with my hands for this POW.
