How Tessellations Work: Creating Repeating Tile Patterns

Discover the fascinating world of tessellations—repeating tile patterns that fit together perfectly with no gaps. In this first video of the series, I show you 5 project examples: squares morphing into puzzle pieces, rectangles becoming symmetrical fish, chevrons transforming into wild creature shapes, pentagons with central rhombi, and hexagons turning into lizards inspired by M.C. Escher.

These are just starting points using simple 3D tools. I walk through online resources like Wikipedia, Live Science, Wolfram Alpha, tiled.art for interactive design, and Escher's gallery for artistic inspiration.
