NEW! Your child will use recycled mirror, broken dishes, found objects and hand-made tiles to make mosaics of the sky at night. Mosaic is artwork made by placing small pieces of stone, colored glass, recycled and hand-made tile into a design or picture and then cementing it into a wooden base. Mosaics are often used as floor and wall decorations and were particularly popular in the Ancient Roman world. We will study this ancient art form and make mosaic pictures of the night sky that will glow and sparkle.
