For my practical project, I chose to do tessellation. Tessellation is a form of shapes being put together to create a pattern. I did some simple tessellation on photoshop with the photos that I took. for the two photos, I first incorporate the kaleidoscope view using the 2 view mirror kaleidoscope. the first photo which is the rose is reflected at a 45 degree angle and the second one is reflected at a 30 degree angle. I had to make sure that the angle that I chose for each are evenly distributed on every reflection. After using the reflectional symmetry to achieve the kaleidoscopic view images, I tessellated the images to create interesting patterns.
For my painting, I started making origami paper and putting them together to create a shape. When put together it creates an octagonal shape and interesting flower like patter in the middle. I laid the origami papers in different color to create a big pattern by repeating the shape.
When I was sticking every origami papers onto the canvas every shape had different sizes so I had difficulties in making the pattern even. keeping every origami paper even was hard as most of the papers were unevenly cut by + or - 1 of a mm.
