MC Escher Birthday (June 17)

MC Escher was born in 1898. He was a Dutch graphic artist. Older school age children will be fascinated by his spatial illusions, impossible buildings, repeating geometric patterns “tessellations” and his incredible techniques in woodcutting and lithography. You can view his artwork online here or try your hand at tessellations interactive puzzles. Children might enjoy drawing some tessellations of their own.
