Insert TitleTessellation Help
Step 1
Draw a rectangle in Microsoft® Word: go to the “Insert” tab, select “Shapes,” and then use the rectangle tool.
Click your rectangle to select it, go to the “Format” tab, then “Shape Fill,” and choose “No Fill.”
Step 2
Use the line segment tool or the curve tool from the same menu of “Shapes” to draw a pattern from one corner to the other on the right, inside the rectangle. Here is an example using the curve tool:
Step 3
Click the design inside the rectangle to select it, right click to bring up a menu, choose “Copy,” and then paste the design on the left side, outside the rectangle.
Step 4
Draw another design from one corner to the other on the top, inside the rectangle—be careful not to overlap the design on the right. Use the line segment or curve tool like you did in Step 2.
Step 5
Click the design you drew in Step 4 to select it, right-click to bring up a menu, choose “Copy,” and then paste it to the bottom side, outside the rectangle.
Step 6
Get rid of unwanted lines by highlighting only the original rectangle and deleting it to get the shape you are going to tessellate.
Step 7
Click on each line while holding the CTRL key to select all four lines. Group them together by right-clicking to bring up a menu, choose “Grouping,” and then choose “Group.”
Step 8
Decide what kind of picture you want your shape to represent, and decorate it:
You may rotate it to see if there is a different angle that gives you a more appealing shape.
You can also use the Microsoft® Paint program to color your shape.
The following example has been made to look somewhat like a turtle:
Step 9
Click to select any items that you added to the picture, and group them with the rest of your shape like you did in Step 7; this way, the decorations will also be ready to copy.
Copy and paste your shape multiple times, fitting them together with no gaps or overlap. You can group these together as well. Repeat until your shape pattern covers the entire page.
Additional Examples
Here is another shape created using the steps listed above. You may decide first what you want your shape to be, or you may want to create it first and then decide what the shape could become. You can rotate it any way you choose. For example, here are two possibilities for the same shape. You can add to your shape by drawing in details to form the rest of your picture.
a. Ghost b. Person with crazy hair
At this point, you can either add colors to your shape now, if you want them all to be the same color, or you can wait a few steps if you prefer to color them differently. The following example adds colors in a later step.
Once you have your shape transformed into the picture you want, select all the additional details you added to your main shape by holding CTRL and clicking each added line or shape. Right-click to bring up a menu, choose “Grouping,” then “Group.” By grouping all the pieces of your shape together, you can then click on it once to select everything to make it ready to copy and paste.
Once you have your shape ready, you can begin the tessellation process. Open a blank page in Microsoft® Word, select your shape, copy and paste it onto the blank page multiple times, and then fit all the shapes together. You can rotate your shape and tessellate it however you like. See the next page as an example of a full-page tessellation.
Once your page is covered, group all the shapes together as one big picture by holding CTRL and clicking to select all the individual pictures. Right-click to bring up a menu, choose “Grouping,” then “Group.”
To color your shape, open the Paint program. Computers running Windows® typically have Paint installed; find it by clicking the Start button, selecting “All Programs,” then “Accessories,” and then Paint. Mac users should use Paintbrush® or another comparable painting program.
Copy your tessellation document from Word and paste it into the Paint program. See the example below:
Use the color tools to color your tessellation. Be sure to save your tessellation in Paint.
To paste the finished page back into a Word document, click the “Insert” tab from your Word document, then click “Picture,” then select the tessellation you saved from Paint.
See the example of a multicolored tessellation.
Be creative, and have fun with this assignment!
