Description

Squares are one of the most common shapes in everyday life – they are used in design, construction, art and technology. Due to their right angles, equal sides and symmetries, they can fit together perfectly and underpin tiling surfaces, map grids and digital displays.

I invite you to create with me another tessellation sketchbook with 10 new square tiles.
I will teach you how to construct a simple square grid using a compass, and how to split it in a variety of shapes. Then you will learn how to transfer and replicate each tile with tracing paper. Each day we will tessellate a new pattern with different symmetries and layouts. Then I will demonstrate various decorating techniques and effects for you to join along.

This class is suitable for any artistic level and the visual instructions can help you create more of your own future designs.

This project will add new pattern ideas for everyone to create another geometric sketchbook, which can also be applied to any other arts and crafts.
