3. Lets make a tessellation
Make a line (corner to corner) on the top edge of your square that dips down into the square.
Cut along this line & slide it to the bottom edge & tape in place.
Repeat this process for the left side and tape it to the right side of the square

4. Let’s turn it into something!
Trace your shape on your paper 4 times
It should be able to fit inside of itself
In the top right box draw what you think the shape looks like to you
Pass the paper to 3 neighbors & get their interpretation
Decide which idea you want to do for the final drawing & color

5. Begin your final project
Get a piece of final drawing paper
Trace your shape to cover the page & Run off the page
NO gaps or overlaps!
Draw your object(s) inside each tessellation
Add your color schemes
Choose at least 2
Color every other tessellation in a checkerboard pattern

6. Don’t forget the artist statement
