This course is an introduction to tessellation, also known as space filling, or packing. Through drawing exercises on various grids (which also happen to be tessellations) we will learn about edges and vertices, moving to regular, semi-regular, and edge tessellation among others, eventually proceeding from planar tiling to packing in three dimensions. Tessellation is a spatial
