For lesson 2 and 3 Students are to create a poster on M.C.Escher. Students can work in pairs and they should research information about his life, work and focus especially on his work on tessellations. They are to create an A3 poster. This poster will help them to investigate how tessellations are created and will also work as inspiration for when they create their own tessellations.
