Adding lots of creases will show how significant those changes are when they add up. Always remember that the paper size changes when you add creases. Getting the other directions done precisely is then harder. (Hint for teachers: When creating the Slide Tessellation it is important that you. This gives them a clear idea on how their cuts will affect their overall shape. The videos cover the two easiest to create. There are 3 types of tessellations rotation, reflection, and translation (or slide). If you first do all divisions for one direction, then the paper will have a significantly different size in that direction. Here are two videos that will teach you the process. I first make a full grid of 8 (all three directions), then expand it to 16, then to 32, etc. And the order in which you crease is also important. The translucent paper I have has quite prominent creases, and the translucency thus allows me to see the creases through a layer of paper.Īnother reference might be not to necessarily align edges for higher divisions, but really using the existing grid lines.
I find it much easier to work precisely with translucent paper, because rather than aligning edges, I can indeed align creases. Like this there are never too many layers of paper on top of each other, which makes working precisely harder.
CREATING A TESSELLATION VIDEO HOW TO
When I work with higher numbers of divisions, I make a couple of pleats, unfold those and then start the next set of pleats. video I made to teach my elementary art students how to make a Tessellation Art - Miss Harris Year 6 Website. This is what might help:įor small divisions I fold edge to edge, creating lots of pleats. I haven't done any more than 64 divisions, fyi. In other words, a tessellation is a never-ending pattern on a flat 2-D surface (such as a piece of paper) where all of the shapes fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces, and the pattern can go on forever. Hm, not sure, I've found it no harder to fold accurate grids with higher divisions. Tessellations A tessellation is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes such that there are no overlaps or gaps.
