The lesson presented is constructivist in nature (no pun intended--though appropriate). The remarkable art of M.C. Escher is the inspirational vehicle through which the student and teacher can make creative connections between geometric constructions and planar transformations. The strategies presented here will engage all to become inventive mathematicians.
