Islamic Architecture is a good place to find tessellations. Architects could not depict any animals or humans on any buildings because people thought this might lead to idol worship. So, Islamic art utilized geometric, floral, arabesque, and calligraphic primary forms, which are often interwoven into the architecture.
Tessellations can be found in the hobby or art of origami. Back in the 1970’s Shuzo Fujimoto gave birth to folding paper into tessellations. Paper is folded into triangles, hexagons, and squares to form many different patterns and shapes.
This tessellation is called the honeycomb, another place to find tessellations in the real world. Another hobby of sorts are puzzles. There are puzzles on the market that you can manipulate different shapes and make your own tessellations out of those. Students of Class VIII enthusiastically participated in Tessellation Competition on 24th July 24.
