Level 6 Creating Mosaics

As an introduction to mosaic technique students from level 6 created interesting mosaic using foam shapes. These mosaics were a great way for students to explore pattern, design, shape and color Students learned that in order to make a nice and neat mosaic, you really need to plan for every tile where to add so that it will fit perfectly. Creating a mosaic is a great way to practice  patience, problem solving, strategic thinking, spatial visualization and motor skills. 

We also talked about traditional mosaics and how they were made from tiny squares of natural-colored rock. 

And on the top of everything, it was a fun experience!
