Where did M.C. Escher study?

M.C. Escher studied at the School for Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem, Netherlands. He initially focused on architecture but later shifted his interest to graphic arts. His education provided him with a strong foundation in design and perspective, which greatly influenced his later works in tessellations and impossible constructions.


How did Escher integrate math and art?

Tessellations incorporate art into mathematical patterns.Escher was fascinated by topography, the study of surfaces, a branch of mathematics. In many of his works, he uses the concept of the Penrose triangle, or "impossible triangle," first designed by the mathematician Roger Penrose. There is also a relationship to the Möbius strip, the single sided loop of material. Escher also used a technique that mathematician study called tesselation.
