Extractions: One of the most interesting aspects of the case centred on the way the works had been made. The final works in existence today started life as graphic representations made with pencil and paper. Escher then reproduced these images by creating woodcuts or lithography stones, referred to as the 'master blocks', from which he then pulled prints by hand to create the final limited editions.

Extractions: even though this is how it sometimes appears." Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher , better known as M.C. Escher, became widely known and acclaimed during his lifetime for his highly complex drawings , linocuts, and woodblock prints tessellations (repeating, reflecting, or reversing shapes), optical illusions , or impossible constructions. The Early Years Born in Leeuwarden, Holland, and the son of a civil engineer, M.C. Escher—whose friends and family called "Mauk"—showed little aptitude for formal education and consistently produced poor grades in his studies. Although he excelled in art classes, especially in drawing, Escher nonetheless failed his final drawing exam in secondary school and never officially graduated. Later, at the age of 20, a military deferment provided Escher additional time and opportunities to pursue his education. Accepted and enrolled at the Higher Technology School (Delft) and subsequently at the School for Architecture and Decorative Arts (Haarlem), Escher quickly abandoned classroom studies for private art lessons with graphic artist Samuel de Mesquita. Private study (particularly in woodblock printing processes) in conjunction to extended trips in Italy became the catalyst that set Escher and his work in motion. Escher loved southern Europe. In this environment he filled sketchbooks with landscape drawings that included pictures of cacti, olive trees, and small animals. These drawings often populated his subsequent prints.

Book Review Doris Schattschneider and Michele Emmer, eds. M. C. Escher's legacy: A Centennial Celebration (New York: Springer Verlag, 2003). To order this book from Amazon.com, click here Reviewed by David Reid T he centennial of Escher's birth in 1998 was marked by exhibitions of his prints all over the world as well as an international congress in Rome and Ravello that brought together artists, computer scientists, designers, engineers, mathematicians, museum educators, psychologists, scientists, and teachers, to celebrate Escher's life, work and legacy. Out of the congress emerged this book, M. C. Escher's legacy: A Centennial Celebration , edited by Doris Schattschneider and Michele Emmer. In forty articles, supplemented by twenty-six items on a CD-ROM, conference participants describe the influence of Escher on their lives and work. As Escher was a multifaceted individual with varied interests, and as his work has been influential for a very wide audience, any attempt to describe his legacy must face the problem of how to cover a vast territory. The approach taken in this book to address this problem is that of multiple perspectives. The many authors relate their personal experiences of Escher and his works. In their intersection the articles succeed in capturing some essential elements of Escher and his work, and in describing his influence in art, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, and many other areas. The union of all the articles, the book/CD-ROM itself, includes much that is not Escher, but which is also "about Escher" in another sense, describing him and his work by mapping out his many legacies to the authors and their domains of activity.

He uses symmetry to order this world of duality and paradox. In the slide above Escher explores the duality of order vs. chaos. We shall see how this idea influences his work, both formally and psychologically. Tiling

According to their page: " With Tess, you can quickly create attractive symmetric planar illustrations. While you draw, Tess will automatically maintain the symmetry group you have chosen; 11 rosette, all 7 frieze, and all 17 wallpaper groups are included." The link allows you to download a demonstration version of the program. To explore Spherical Geometry and the Platonic solids we use Kaleidotile . At the same page we also find the Torus and Klein Bottle games . These are nice to use when exploring glide translations, as well as when you want to explore the topology of the torus and the Klein bottle. All of these programs are available from

Integration Integration is a term that is appearing more and more frequently in the professional teaching literature. In its simplest form, integration means making connections or links. Integrated teaching brings the following advantages: integration helps students to make connections since the links between various concepts, skills and attitudes are established; since students make connections, transferring what they've learned to new situations is more readily accomplished; integration fosters a deeper understanding of concepts, since linked ideas allow students to review, to test hypotheses and to assimilate concepts in a more efficient way; integration also allows students to gain an overview, since learning situations are placed in a larger context;

Extractions: Biography of M.C. Escher Biography of M. C. Escher, a graphic artist who is considered the Master of Symmetry. He is still celebrated by millions today. M. C. Escher, otherwise known as Maurits Cornelis Escher, carried many titles during his career as an artist. Often he was, and still is, referred to as a Specialist in Optical Art, Master of Symmetry, Dutch Engraver, Dutch Graphic Artist, Dutch Illustrator and Dutch Mathematician. All these titles hold true to the diversity of this manâs style. His passions, or addictions as he so often called them, focused on tessellation (inter linking figurative work) and regular plane division. Escher, born to a civil engineer June 17, 1898, was encouraged by his family at a young age to pursue an education in Architectural Arts. His lack of interest and poor grades led him in a different direction with his artistic talents. It was not until he reached age twenty-one that he discovered his true calling: Graphic Art. From then on, his success story writes itself. He taught himself in the areas of math and science through the study of technical papers in order to achieve his artistic goals. This caught the attention of many scientists and mathematicians, alike. It is often wondered if he was truly an artist or a mathematician by his own right. His particular artistic style is said to be what has bridged the gap between art and math and art and science. Upon finishing Art school, Escher traveled Spain, France and Italy to vacation and gather inspiration for his work. Throughout his studies, he became more fascinated with structures than in regular portraits or landscapes. His early works suggests differently, as he placed his focus on particular places and people. He worked primarily in engraved woodcuts so he could repeat patterns quicker and easier. During his career, he never felt completely comfortable with calling himself an artist or an artisan. He felt such titles would limit his potential and cause too many barriers between his interests and the art world.

Extractions: August 13-October 30, 2005 "There has to be a certain enigma in it, which does not immediately catch the eye" - M. C. Escher ORLANDO, FL - Get a new perspective when you explore the creative process of one of the world's most popular and intriguing artists of the 20th century - Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) - with more than 80 prints and drawings from the 1920s through the 1960s in the exhibition M.C. Escher: Rhythm of Illusion at the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA), August 13 through October 30, 2005. M. C. Escher has earned worldwide renown for his precisely rendered visual illusions that range from an image of never-ending steps to a flock of geese flying in two directions at once. A wide cross-section of people, from connoisseurs of graphic arts to the scientific community, has found his work challenging and captivating. Organized by the Portland Art Museum, Oregon, this exhibition will lead viewers to see that, through his innate sense of intellectual curiosity regarding the laws of nature and their persuasively deceptive visual effects on the mind's eye, Escher created in two dimensions a world of fantastic spatial and planar geometric rhythm - precise illusions of his own making.
