Mosaics

Now that you have finished your ESCHER patterns and tessellations, we are going to begin work on MOSAICs. It you're not exactly sure what they are, click on the website I have added to our list on the right.

I think Gran Canaria and Spain in general has amazing examples of mosaics. If you see one, please take a photo and bring it into school for our display.

If you have been to Barcelona then I am sure that you have seen GAUDI's mosaics. Here is an example. Ask your parents if they have seen these mosaics.



Here is a very colourful mosaic that a class in Australia did together. What do you think? Let me know!



If you want to get some ideas for your own mosiac, look at this website. This is a company in my town of Brighton who make fantastic mosaics. This is an example of one of the mosaics.



Also, please tell me if you know someone who is a mosiac artist as they may be able to help us with our work.
