Escher studied architecture, but he failed a number of subjects and switched to decorative
arts.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
He created art from his imagination.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
He thought it was more creative to draw what you remembered, than to draw what you were
looking at.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
He created impossible worlds from his imagination.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
Why is this room impossible?
![Page 11: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
M. C. Escher created many self portraits.
![Page 12: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
Many times he looked into a mirrored ball to draw himself.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
This is a double self portrait. Can you see Escher twice?
![Page 14: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
Do you see the skull?
![Page 15: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
Another impossible drawing!
![Page 16: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
Many of his pictures use repeated tilings called tessellations.
![Page 17: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
In a tessellation, all the space is used up.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
When one shape ends another on begins.

Jeffrey Rodriguez
Escher made this tessellation like the mirror ball. Objects are large in the center, and
smaller towards the edge.
![Page 20: Mc escher](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/5559a890d8b42aa4288b4e17/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jeffrey Rodriguez
This one is the opposite; smaller in the center and larger on the edges.
