Transforming shapes into tessellated designs
This Art and design video guides learners through the process of creating tessellated patterns inspired by M.C. Escher. Learners design an abstract shape by cutting and rearranging the edges of a square template, then repeat the shape to create an interlocking pattern. The activity builds understanding of symmetry, repetition and composition while encouraging creativity and precision.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design curriculum framework (0067). In the Making connections: Exploring tessellations unit, this lesson helps learners explore mathematical ideas through art, using shape and colour to create visually striking tessellations.
