Welcome to your Mosaic assignment....
If you missed class, we completed the following:
1. I introduced the mosaic assignment to each class today.
What is a mosaic? A piece of artwork that is comprised of many different pieces. Please see the examples of mosaics below.
Why were they so important to the ancient Greeks? They took the subjects from their mythology and literally cemented them into mosaic artwork.
Nemean Lion
Demeter
Medusa
