Fact: There are two types of tessellations. In the first kind, Alhambra style tessellation, the tiles aren't merely squares. They're geometric-looking abstract shapes, not merely squares or bricks. In the second kind, Escher style tessellation, the tiles are as big as the picture. Also, instead of being square or other geometric shapes]\, each tile looks like something, like a bird or a snake.
