4th Grade - Tessellations

4th graders did very well with a difficult technique.  Students learned about shape, positive and negative space, and pattern with this tessellation project.  The complicated process started out with step-by-step instruction to create the stencil, where each side fits together like a puzzle piece, before tracing the shape onto a big piece of paper until it fills up the page.  Top it all off with some painting and we have the finished product!  Check it out!
