Tessellations.





Today I made a Tessellation. The rules for tessellations are no gaps and no over laps. My tessellation is triangles or mountains and some squiggles.


One of the greatest Tessellation makers was Escher.
Escher made some pretty cool illusions and some great Tessellations!
Can you tell which one is mine and which one is Eschers?

Indian Ink

Last week I started to paint my Indian Ink picture. I was painting a black cat leaping into a pile of leaves.

The colour of the leaves are red,orange and yellow.Look closely you will see my cat.


I have a problem it, looks like its jumping into a tree! So I am working on fixing that!

Now I realise that I painted the grass yellow instead of green!
You will not see this in my picture as I have painted over it.

I have learnt that you really need to watch what you are using for your colours.

Fibonacci's Cows

Today I discovered Fibonacci . I thought that Fibonacci's pattern was pretty clever.

I found out that he has cows and he counts his cows and then he said that it goes with his number pattern.
The cow life matches with Fibonacci's pattern.
The cows life is part of math, did you know that?
