This week children will work making a Paper Mosaic!
Did
You Know?
Mosaics
can be traced to as early as 3,000 B.C. in the Near East.
The
first mosaics were made with rounded pebbles, glass and marble chips.
Today
huge murals are depicted in mosaic tiles, homes and public places are decorated
with them.
Mosaics
are great fun for the part of the brain that recognizes patterns,
and
can help build geometrical awareness in the child. Mosaics come in
many
materials, such as glass, rock, tile and brick. The complexity of this
art
form depends on the creativity of the artist. Young artist will be introduced
to
this art form with this fun and creative activity, which blends arts and
crafts with patterning for
hidden math practice!
