Site of the Day for Thursday, April 22, 2004
Tessellations.org
Today's site from British aficionado David Annal offers a splendid
presentation on the artistry of tessellations. Gentle Subscribers who are
puzzled by the term, will discover an excellent range of material to fill
in the gap.
"Tessellations here mean designs featuring animals, birds, etc, which fill
the page without overlapping to form a pattern. ... On these pages, you
will find information about all aspects of tessellations, from their
history and development to complete galleries of examples by both me and
the Master, M.C. Escher, the pioneer of the art. Also included are
extensive workshops showing how to design and produce your own." - from the
website
This well-designed site features an overview of the life and art of M.C.
Escher, along with wonderful galleries of his amazing tessellations. David
Annal's own work is displayed as well, including the interesting "Geisha
and Cowboy" and the witty "Pink Winking Cat". The "Do It Yourself" section
offers the basics of various methods to construct tessellations, with
useful illustrations.
