this picture by Keith Richardson-Jones (1974) is in the Tate, London UK
there is an interesting structure to it, that seems not too difficult to discern
John Golden (@mathhombre) has produced an interactive, using Geogebra

lattice labyrinth tessellations
these very intricate designs are created by David Mitchell
a book on how to create such designs is available from Tarquin
David's blog is here
David draws attention to a pdf that outlines some theoretical, condensed aspects of this fascinating study (many thanks)
not David's designs, but in a similar (but far less complex) vein ...
copy and continue these tessellations:

Lee Westwood and Sama Mara
maybe you could play these videos to your students
a collaboration between a composer (Lee) and an artist and geometer (Sama):
kaleidoscopic patterns, synchronised to a musical score
their work ('a hidden order') is to be found here
there is (static) art work as well as videos and other ways to explore generated patterns
several Vimeo videos explore their interpretation of the relationship between pattern and music including:
triangle ensemble
hexagon 1 ensemble
and, my favourite,
octagon 1 flute and marimba
thanks to J Mowl for bringing this to my attention

Souzou
a 'Souzou' exhibition was held in 2013 at the Wellcome Collection in London
some of this exhibition could be viewed online
all the artists have received little or no tuition and produce work for the sake of creation alone, with no audience in mind
they have been diagnosed with a variety of different cognitive, behavioral or mental illnesses and attend or reside in specialist care institutions in Japan
Shota Katsube's figures are made from the twist-ties used to fasten bin liners:
Kenichi Yamazaki's drawings are like engineering schematics and are created in the confines of his hospital ward, using a compass, ordinary pens and large graph paper:
