Mosaics
A mosaic is a picture or decoration made of small colored pieces of inlaid stone, glass, etc. The Greeks were the first to create mosaics; then, with the spread of the Roman Empire, mosaics were created in many other places such as Africa, England, Spain, and France.
For this project, students learned about mosaic history and then created their own mosaics in art class. Students used construction paper tiles and glue to create a collaged mosaic. They then had the opportunity to create a real mosaic using tiles and grout.
