Don't forget to tell us where the tessellation was discovered in your thread.Tessellations can be discovered all over. For example, USD campus and Balboa Park have fountains that share some very similar tile work. Downtown La Jolla has some spread about while you walk on Girard. Home Depot sometimes has examples on display for kitchen and bathrooms. Even textiles and fabrics are decorated in tessellations. Be sure to embed your image/s (just like in the demo below). DO NOT attach the image/s in word doc or pdf files. Attached images that require downloading for viewing will NOT be looked at and the discussion will earn a zero.Embedding Images Into Canvas Discussions (Links to an external site.) Discussion Questions:Tell us why you chose the tessellation.What is it about the tessellation that made an impression on you?What exactly makes the pattern/decoration you chose a tessellation? Provide specific details. Discussing a principle of design or two or anything from the visual toolbox could be helpful.Instructions:Your Discussion experience will come in three parts:Part 1: Take a selfie with a tessellation you discover around town. Don't forget to tell us where the tessellation was discovered in your thread. A photo with you holding a book or print out next to your face will not work!Embed the photo to your thread. Avoid using huge file sizes, they may not upload into Canvas.Part 2: Write a short essay that answers the above questions and provide comments about your own viewing experience. Additions to your thread resulting from any added research is fine. But remember to stay on topic and answer the questions.Part 3: Respond to a minimum of 2 other student Threads.Points will be distributed in this manner: Your initial Thread can earn you up to 10 points, and each response is worth up to 5 points max. Maximum points is 20. Extraordinary posts and responses will be rewarded with extra points, making totals larger than 20, but no more than 24 points. Poor spelling and grammar will result in the loss of points. Entries with any errors in spelling and grammar will receive no higher than 17/20. Be sure to make your entries perfect.*The purpose of this exercise is to promote critical thinking. Be sure to provide detailed and supportive answers. One word answers like "cool, awesome, lol" are not sufficient.You will be graded on the quality of your posts and responses. Failure to respond to at least 2 posts will cost you points. Be mindful and polite to one another, and more importantly, be creative and have fun.
