In this awesome project students create and paint beautiful tessellations from origami crease patterns! **This project was originally implemented in my STEAM based elective class with students in grades 9-12, and would be a wonderful project in any STEAM, arts or math (geometry especially) class!**Brief Summary: In this project students create their own tessellation from origami crease patterns that they fold and paint. Each students finished product is a 12"x12" two color tessellation that can
