In my Geometry class we did a project on tessellation. The type of tessellation I used is called translation. Translation is when your pattern either goes diagonally, vertically, or horizontally. My theme is about clowns. I created a pattern in my tessellation. As you can see my color patterns go diagonally. The yellow with purple, green with blue , and red with orange. My tessellation works because interlocks with its one significant shape. There are no gaps or overlaps. I chose clowns because I like to be silly and funny all the time. It feels good to put a smile on someone's face. With that said, my tessellation is supposed to represent happiness and silliness.
