Within this week, we learnt about Tessellation and Stencil, basically Mr.Aaron recommended us to use stencil method for our coming tessellation exercise. At first, let me explain what is Tessellation.
A Tessellation is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions.
I did some research for tessellation.
Before we started to do our tessellation exercise, Mr.Aron actually taught us how to do stencil. Below is the process of how we stencil our first letter from our name on a blank paper.
All the tools and materials we were using.
The first letter from my name: Catherine, which is “C”.
End of the stencil practice, each of us been told to think of our own theme for the tessellation exercise. My theme for the tessellation is: Women’s precious is Fashion.
Below is the process on how I make my tessellation.
I decided to use a Triangle to form my tessellation.
After I showed the flower tessellation to Mr.Aaron, he stated that flower is not a stronger meaning for “Precious”, so I decided to add on a diamond on each of the flower.
After all, this is my final artwork.
Unfortunately, during our presentation, Mr.Aaron stated that he’s not satisfied with my artwork. Even though the whole artwork has the meaning of “Women’s precious is Fashion”, but the flower doesn’t really looks like a flower, it looks kind of weird.
I decided to redo the whole thing.
Following is the process of my redo artwork.
this time I decided to use hexagon for tessellation as the shape is more easy to form a flower.
After few hours, this is my second tessellation artwork.
I’ve shown Mr.Aaron my redo tessellation artwork and luckily he was satisfied with my second artwork 🙂
