Tessellation

Tessellation is the process of creating a two-dimensional plane using the repetition of a geometric shape with no overlaps and no gaps. It is seen throughout art history, from ancient architecture to modern art.

 Tessellations frequently appeared in the art of M. C. Escher, who was inspired by studying the Moorish use of symmetry in the Alhambra tiles during a visit in 1922.




Our lecturer Mr Charles had assigned us to do some tessellation by using gestalt principles. Which is similarity, proximity, continuation, closure, alignment and figure ground.


I had finished all the tessellation and here is the picture of my drawing.



closure - fruit

continuation - dance

figure ground - fish

alignment - aeroplane

similarity - sweet smell
proximity - fruit

that's all for my tessellation. TQ
