Escher’s 3-Dimensions
Escher was a master creator of thought provoking geometric designs.
The depth to his creations is astounding!
M.C. Escher
An Artist Never to be Duplicated!
The Geometry of Escher’s Art Begin with a basic shape: square,
triangle, hexagon (The sides must be equal.)
Follow the tessellation rules: translation, rotation, reflection.
You can combine rules… “glide-reflection” is a slide-flip
