Islamic art began in the 7th century with the founding of Islam. It uses detailed symmetrical shapes and patterns that are often balanced and harmonious. Tessellations are a type of Islamic art that uses repeating geometric shapes fit together without gaps. Maurits Escher was famous for his tessellation artworks that involved both art and mathematics.
