How to Make an Escher-esque Tessellation

- Here's a quick tutorial on making a funky tessellation art project with just a pencil, protractor, and a sheet of construction paper. This particular way of doing it utilizes an equilateral triangle so that your finished shape will tessellate on a rotation.
On behalf of my mother, a junior high math teacher, I would like to say thanks! She has used your video in her classes to give an up-front, visual aid that she couldn't do herself. Good luck continuing in the field of education! And way to use technology to aid in the process.
I wish I had a teacher like you. I’m an Escher fan since I was 16 in 1973, just after he died. I had no idea how he made repeating designs.
Thank you so much! I am a 7th grade student and we are doing tessellations, and I didn't really get what my teacher said, and the way she explained it. But thanks to you I know what to do know! Thanks! ( btw I wish u were my teacher because you seem to know what your talking about and you explain it very well.) I hope you get a job!
I am too! except 6 years later :p
I am a 6th grade math teacher and we were making tessellations this morning. I came across your video and projected it onto my Smart Board to inspire my class while they tessellated! Thank you for the inspiration!
It is good to see such kind of teacher like you.. Thank you so much...
Our teacher repeatatively shows us this video before doing Escher Art... Been doing it for awhile now. THUMBS UP SO SHE CAN SEE
I just want to give a big thanks to my geometry teacher for making us do this. I hope you know that any will I had left to live has officially left my body. Have a good day everyone. I hope this “activity” doesn’t suck out your soul like it did for me.

Thank you so much for posting this!! I have a project due tomorrow on rotation tessellations in my intensive Geometry class, and I didn't pay attention when the teacher explained how to do these. You saved my butt.
Love ESCHER and his tessellations work, the man was a genius. With obv patience of a saint. Our world is better for ESCHER. :-) ARTISFOREVERYONE!..your welcome.
Very clear, dynamic, descriptive, yet concise presentation which gets students interested.
The presentation + instruction are done with confidence (clearly conveying mastery of the subject) and no single word is wasted, no ehms, no solicitation of approval (as we often see for well-studied reasons especially from female math teachers).
So, if I would be a principle I would certainly invite you for an interview.
BTW: I hope that you DO NOT teach/torture kids w FORGIVING method of long division
Thank-you for this video! I am planning to do this tomorrow with my 6yr old...I wish you had been my teacher! I hated science and math in school because it was BORING! ie: it was taught BORINGLY! now I am obsessed with geometry and because the numbers make patterns I now think math is BEAUTIFUL! because it's the language of the universe!
+Lisa Bailey you are planning to produce a genius!!
Wow. You're a great teacher. I have to do this for my Geometry class, and it counts as two test grades, and I seriously need to do well. I couldn't seem to understand how to do any of it until I saw this video. Thanks so much!
Ty for making this video. For some reason I never got to do this project in school and was always a little jealous of the kids that did. I'm looking forward to finally getting to try it out.
Very cool. Thank you.
love the Air playing in the background - perfect :)
I'm an art teacher in nebraska and do tessellations with my Art Foundations class every year. So far I've been starting with squares, but the video prompted me to try triangles this year. thanks, AH-MAZING!
Soooo cool! I was looking for triangular tessellation and found it. Thank you, teach.
I think kids would love to have you as a math teacher. I might actually have liked math more in school if I had a teacher like you!
My daughter, Sasha wants to teach at a Montessori Middle school. I'll share this with her. Thanks!
Hey we actally did this as out geometery final in my class in spokane washington and it was woth 20% of our grade. Best 55 points i ever earned lol thanks alot.
my god, to do this with kids is totally AWESOME! congratulations to your great job. beautiful! i am so glad i've watched this. thank you.
What an awesome, creative, hip, Teacher !
thanks a lot russ u helped me at my school homework and u made me pass a art test
Best explanation I have ever had on tessellations and I've had to do four which I just kind of acted like I knew what I was doing.....
thanks good video, I am student of design and I really needed this
This is GREAT!!! I'm a 6th grade teacher too! I am sooo excited to share this with my kids tomorrow. Very comprehensive and easy to follow! Thank you again! I would hire you:-)
YOU are awesome. A principal would be stupid not to hire you. What a great project,and you explained it so clearly. I'm going to try it in my art camp.THANKS!
Thank you so much for this! My kids loved watching the video (I teach Geometry in a high school in Texas). I'm having my kids do a more involved project but they loved your explanation. I just had to make sure and cough when you said here are some examples from my 6th graders. :)
THIS IS TOO COOL!!! I'm excited like a little girl, seriously! :D
no!... your not.
How old r u anyways? No need to overeact (-.-(-.-(-.-)-.-)-.-) Hello i am the 5 faced man :D
minecraftication10 beautiful
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Kylo Rhys Instablaster :)
Thanks this helped me at school and all my classmates
awesome! this totally helped me. i have to make this for my final test, and my tesellation came out great!
Guys, it is very important that you take a coffee break. Not doing so will result in complete failure
shut the fuck up
Oh man, this is so great!!! Now I just wish I had enough time to teach this to my fourth graders.
Still an incredibly helpful tutorial
You just tessellated my brain. And I liked it.
Awesome.
Excellent tutorial. I shall keep this in mind to use with some of my classes.
math and art, that's a beautiful way of teaching
happy new year 2010, I wish you a good job with great kids!
Thanks man you helped me finish my geometry project
Thanks so much for this video!! I have to do this for extra credit and it helped a lot 👏👏👏
Nice vid, nice teacher, nice project
You rock! Now that's how to make math fun :-D
Thanks man! I owe you one! I did a tesselation exercise along a similar line but not one so intricate that could fit into itself. I love the design element as well...which was missing from the previous one. :)
Thanks, you really helped me how to explain to my students. Very useful video. Good luck!!
remember guys, take a coffee break
lunch break
I want him as my math teacher.
Nice video it is very resourceful for us students cause we are doing this for an assignment.
For over 30 years I taught Music in a high school. Now I mostly teach in a special school (for mentally handicapped children).
Rock and roll bro! Nice job!
That looks so cool. Thank you so much for sharing. I was trying to draw a lizard. I think now I know how to do it :)
loooool mr kranz! i loved the tessilation project keep rockin !!!
I'm doing this with my gr.9 art teacher, it's fun! Although we are shading colours behind the tessellations and adding in the design that we see. :D it's a lot of fun!
you are SOOOOOOO good looking and you have a calm soothing voice
lols nice vid. can you believe i do tesselations as homework? stuff is so much fun. my walls are plastered with them. I rated 5 starzzz..
Very cool! Thanks.
thx u so much !!!!!
u just saved my Geometry . grade !!!
Escher was a genius
Thanks for this. I've seen some in quilt shows. Also, what's the music and the end? I like it, a lot. Almost like surf metal.
Link Wray, pioneer of using distortion. You probably already know Rumble and Comanche. Check out Jack the Ripper too. Dude was ahead of his time sounding like this back then.
hey this project was great we did it at skool...i didn't think it was soo easy to do
Awesome video
Your class made lovely tessellations :)
kudos to you and your grade 6 class!
Thanks, you rock. Way better than my teacher explained it.
This math teacher is super hott...WHERE THEY GeT THESE KINDA TEACHERS AT?!
Hello! the truth I am not good for the English but your video is amazing understood everything! really thank you very much !
regards!
That is a great idea for a crazy wallpaper actually
Very cool!! =D
Thankyou for the tessellation project, I'm using it to make t-shirts! I'm glad I didn't have you as a math teacher. You're too dreamy. I wouldn't have learned anything.
thnks for the help..its my project....needed it !!!
Thanks for the help I got a A on my project on school Bc of this
Hey this is pretty cool! good job mate im doing this for my homework. Our year 6 has told us to watch this vid. you'll get more than 140 views in just a week!!
Thanks for this. Now I know how to do my Geometry homework.
So intriguing! Thanks!
You remind me of you geometry teacher you guys would get along so well lol
thanks one funky devil! way to make learnin' fun!
I wish I watched this when we had a project on tessalation:<
great choice using la femme d'argent
Thank you - it is good to know how to do it. -- :) I will teach my kid to do --.
super idée, bien expliqué, il faut que j'essaie !!! merci !
thanks so much dude. helped me a lot.
its amazing i just made it it looks so good thanks for the idea
thanks so much for this video. I'm from Britain, I'm in year 8 (grade 8) and next year I'm starting my exams, one of them including art
Its Air - La Femme D'Argent
Thanks bro , my math project is saved!
Like the instrumental surfer music.
You have to study the subject of tessellation. There are numerous "base" shapes, including regular hexagons.
10 points extra credit in the bag
so creative!
This is awesome ! (:
and I'm totally using it for my project. Merci♥
im just here to bop to the montage music. thanks
Great soundtrack!!! =)
thanks helped a ton!!
Why can't the 3rd side be the same? Why does it have to fit into itself? If you were to use a square instead, would the 4th side need to fit into the 4th side itself, or could you do all 4 sides the same?
I need help, I'm trying to make a pentagon tesselation.
Yes, I realize pentagons don't "tesselate" because of the gap.
BUT, if you fold the three pentagons on the edges to make them touch, it will be 3D.
So, I'm trying to make it 3D.
But my art treacher said to start with the 5 triangles that fit inside of a pentagon.
I was wondering if this method would work if I put 5 of the shapes together to make a "pentagon"
спасибо, идея отлично, показано понятно, но вместо рекламы прочитала бы субтитры. удачи, продолжайте!
very cool what you do !! ;)
Good video
"...because I teach in Florida.." soooo great
You are awesome.
This was my math teacher!!! and he hated koalas.
fantastic, thank you!
