CYBER DAY 2/5
Our next project will be creating Islamic tiles. Go to the following links, choose your favorite and print it out. Color it in following a pattern. Only use 4 colors. (If you put the same color next to itself, it will change the overall shape of the design. You are allowed to do this, but you must keep the pattern.) I will explain why when you turn them in next class.
