Mosaic Art.


Today I did Talent Development all on mosaic art.  We found out things like when it was first introduced and the different ways to make mosaic art.  Ancient mosaics were made with terracotta cones.  We did discussed our initial thoughts.  We looked at ancient mosaics and who could have them and who couldn't.  In Ancient Greece anyone could have mosaics to decorate their homes, but in Ancient Roman times, only the rich could.  Then we looked at examples of mosaics that are in our time not ancient.  Then we looked at making mosaics of our own.  First we discussed colours for our draft.  Mine were Blue,Light Brown and white.  The colours for my draft are the same for my real one.  After that we looked at google images.  I found some amazing images of mosaics.

  1. I am glad we don't live in ancient Roman times Max, as we wouldn't be able to afford a mosaic! Looking forward to getting yours home. I know you have enjoyed making it (especially the plate breaking part!)
