ThinkQuest Activities--M. C. Escher

I have always found M. C. Escher's artwork very interesting. He is not only famous in the art world but also in the math world for his tessellations. When browsing through ThinkQuest I found two interesting activities involving Escher and his artwork that I think students would enjoy. One is on math tessellations and the other is on his illusionary art. Browse through these websites to find histories, photo galleries, hands-on activities, etc.
