| Discussion: Stars are a common theme in Islamic design, but is this design really a tessellation? Yes—tessellations can be constructed from more than one shape as long as the shapes fit together into a pattern. Also, there are two ways of looking at this image. Are the star and the background two separate shapes, or a design created within one shape? | |
