ESCHER : Dutch artist who used mathematics in his artwork
Rossini : the boat Escher traveled on while doing sketches
tessellation : an arrangement of closed geometrical shapes that completely covers a plane with no gaps or overlaps
Rotation : spinning the pattern around a point
Reflection : a shape that has been flipped
Translation : slid across the paper and drawn again in another place
Symmetry : when a tessellation is made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis, it has this
Semiregular : made up with two or more types of regular polygon
Polygon : a closed figure with at least three straight sides and angles
Convex : curves inwards; opposite of concave
