Description

Famed Dutch artist, M.C. Escher (1898 - 1972) though a sickly child became a self-taught "MathArt" genius. Escher created works beyond the human imagination inspired from adventures such as a visit to the Moors' castle of the Alhambra in Spain and a Mediterranean voyage among other European travels. Undaunted by his lack of mathematical training, he found more in common with mathematicians of his day, such as English professor of mathematics, Sir Roger Penrose, than he did with fellow artists.

His use of tessellations (the tiling of a two-dimensional flat surface with repeating patterns without gaps or overlaps) in his artwork has inspired artists, art appreciators and mathematicians for decades. Come take a journey through time to see the magnificent artwork of this "MathArtist Magician" as we study Escher's life, the "behind the scenes" of how his artwork was created, along with a tour of the mathematical wonder and beauty of tessellations found in both art, architecture, art history and nature.

CCSS3.G.A.1

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

CCSS4.G.A.2

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.

CCSS4.G.A.3

Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

CCSS5.G.B.3

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

CCSS5.G.B.4

Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
