The 7th grade Israel & Art class has been busy! Remember our first project? During our second week together, we made paper mosaics inspired by ancient Israeli mosaics, like the Lod mosaic (now on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York).
These mosaics are made by gluing small pieces of different colored paper (torn or cut) to create shapes, patterns, letters, etc. Mosaics trick the eye into seeing one complete picture that's actually made of lots of little separate pieces!
Aren't they beautiful?
