Art tessellation

Two artistic paintings are portrayed here to discover the art of paving. The suggested activities permit a progressive analysis leading to a faithful representation of a paving.

1. Observe and recognize the regularities in the paving.
2. Understand how the paving is built: Identify patterns and match them together.
3. Build the paving: recognize the geometrical transformation and apply the same transformation to the reference pattern.
