Over the last two weeks Room 9 have been working on Mosaics. We started working on them with Mrs Day on a Thursday. First we could choose between a bird, a fish, a windmill or a palm tree. These were paper mosaics. We cut out lots of coloured paper to create our pictures.
The first step in making our real mosaic out of tiles was to plan our picture. We chose our board, traced around it in our art book, drew our design in our books and when we were happy with that, we drew our design on our board.
Next we smashed up the tile with a rock to make lots of little pieces. Mr T showed us how to choose the right pieces, then it was on to the gluing. This took quite a while and some of us haven't finished yet. Here are some pictures of our paper mosaics and unfinished tile mosaics.
