%X An educational innovation experience in art education was conducted in the classroom of a secondary school using pattern blocks as teaching material. The proposal follows an interdisciplinary
approach integrating mathematical and artistic content, situating the learning of plane isometries as
the basis for creating geometric and visual compositions. The intervention was implemented as a
practical workshop in which students, through guided activities, progressively developed the capacity
to apply geometric transformations in the plane. The methodology linked semi-regular tessellations
with artistic compositions, supporting the development of spatial reasoning. This experience acts as
a motivational agent for converting the art classroom into an active mathematical learning environment. Results indicate an increase of student engagement, persistence in tasks resolution, and improvement in spatial visualization skills in geometric contexts highlighting the potential of combining
manipulation of teaching material in interdisciplinary learning processes within compulsory curricula.
