What is a hexagonal tesellation?

Who invented tesellation?

Tessellations were used at least 6000 years ago by Sumerians. Unfortunately, there is no surviving record of the inventor's name.


What is a basic design element in a tesellation?

The basic element is usually a simple shape called a tessela. Although these are often polygons, that need not be the case. For more unusual basic shapes, see, the set of Symmetry artwork by MC Escher.


Can a tesellation be created with any shape you can think of?

No. Multiple copies of the shape - whether arranged side-by-side or in an interlocking pattern, must cover a plane area without gaps or overlaps. A circle or regular pentagon, for example, will not tessellate.
