Tessellations- Fourth Grade

This website visually explains the process of making a tessellation well:

I also created a short video drawing of the steps involved in making a tessellation.  Here's the link:

After completing the tessellation design, the class outlined the pencil lines with black crayon and colored in each shape using other colors of crayons.  They then painted over the whole picture using one color paint and accentuated elements of the design with oil pastel.
