"In a Rainbow Sea" by Maxine

• I constructed a tessellation using Geometer's
  Sketchpad. It looked a bit like a fish, so I
  decided to use that theme for my project, and
  worked on it a bit to make it look more
  "fish-like." I copied the line drawing into
  SuperPaint, and played around with colors. I
  wanted to make one fish stand out from all the
  others, so I made it a rainbow fish! By contrast
  I made the other fish shades of red.
  Tessellations are really interesting because all
  the pieces fit together so perfectly. I like
  geometry because you can be really creative with
  it and make unique projects.
