There are over 40,000 classes on topics for creative persons just like you. It’s less than the cost of a Netflix subscription! And you can still stay put on the couch. You can register for just a month and cancel anytime. Skillshare offers anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for freeif you sign up, even temporarily. I’ve uploaded these to the Skillshare platform. And like all artists, we need to make a living. I’ll be covering each of the 17 symmetry groups, one class at a time. If you’re a “Learn by Seeing” “Learn by Doing” kind of person, I’ve started creating videos on “how-to” create tessellations. Now starts the fun - modify those two lines, however complex you want, to encapsulate your creature creation. Two lines drawing a Louis Cube design is the first goal. Three different 3-way rotation points under group P3 are the starting points. If you read my post about the technique to create a tessellation in symmetry group P3, you will note that only two lines are required to draw the perimeter of this type of pattern. But, as I keep on repeating (no pun), to draw a tessellation or to truly understand the structure behind it are two different things.īelow, in slideshow format, I’ve placed a succession of 27 images recreating the progressive morphing of two lines. From tattoos, puzzles, belt buckles, car wraps, flooring or landscaping stones… My initial introduction to tessellations was through redrawing this lizard in its nested shape during a class on crystallography at Carleton U. It can be seen gracing many multitudes of surfaces, legally or illegally. Escher’s Lizards are by far the most popular of Escher’s tessellations.
