Tile and glass mosaics can be used for architectural decoration by creating a sense of depth through shading with pieces of different materials. Examples shown include Antoni Gaudi's colorful mosaic at Park Güell in Barcelona using tiles, a Van Gogh mosaic in progress showing shading through shapes of light and dark in the face, and mosaics in subway stations in Boston and New York using tiles, bottlecaps, and other found objects as well as paper collages and magazine collages by students.
Mosaics are an art form that has been around for over 4,000 years involving arranging small pieces of material like glass, stone or paper to form images. Romans decorated the floors and walls of their villas with elaborate mosaics often depicting scenes from everyday life or mythology. Roman mosaic artists would first plan a design, lay plaster on the floor and then place tiles in the wet plaster according to the design, later polishing the finished mosaic. The document provides instructions on how to make a paper mosaic by planning a design, cutting paper into tiles, and gluing them to form shapes and fill in backgrounds.

Shapes are two-dimensional areas enclosed by lines that have height and width. There are two categories of shapes: geometric and organic. Geometric shapes are regular shapes made from straight lines and angles, including basic shapes like squares, triangles, rectangles, and circles, as well as other man-made shapes like diamonds, hexagons, and stars. Organic shapes are irregular and curving with a natural appearance, like leaves, flowers, shells, and clouds.
This document discusses the principle of balance in art and design. It defines balance as the distribution of visual weight in a composition. There are three main types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. Symmetrical balance involves both sides of a composition being equal or identical. Asymmetrical balance involves both sides not being identical but having equal visual weight through factors like size, color, or texture. Radial balance involves shapes and images being repeated evenly from the center outward in a circular pattern. Examples of different types of balanced compositions in various artworks are provided.

Elements & Principles of Art Design PowerPointemurfield
The document outlines the elements and principles of art design. The elements are the basic parts that make up a work of art, including line, form, space, texture, shape, and color. The principles are concepts that affect the content and message, such as emphasis, movement, unity, rhythm, contrast, and variety. Elements structure the work and carry the message, while principles impact how the elements are used.
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, cubism rejected traditional perspective and sought to depict subject matter from a multitude of viewpoints in order to represent the subject in the round. Cubist works are characterized by the geometric fragmentation and synthetic reassembling of forms.
Drawing involves using dry media like pencil and charcoal or wet media like ink to portray objects through lines and textures. There are four main printmaking processes - relief, intaglio, lithography, and screen printing. Photography captures optical images on light-sensitive surfaces. Sculpture can be two or three-dimensional and involves processes like modeling, carving, casting, and assembly. Architecture developed from post and lintel construction to modern methods using steel, concrete, and lightweight systems.
This document provides an overview of sculpture, including its definition, processes, materials, techniques and concerns. Sculpture is defined as the creation of three-dimensional forms by carving or modeling materials such as stone, wood, clay, metal and more. There are two main processes - subtractive, where material is cut away, and additive, where material is added to build up shapes. Key sculpting techniques include carving, modeling, casting and construction, while common concerns for sculptors are how pictorial, sculptural or built up a work is based on the medium and details.

Key styles of painting described include abstract, expressionism, landscape and cubism. Famous paintings mentioned are the Mona Lisa and Card Players painting. Indian painters like Tagore, Ravi Varma, Majumdar and Roy are also summarized.
Form is one of the basic building blocks of art and refers to a three-dimensional shape that takes up space. There are two categories of forms: geometric forms like spheres, cubes, and cylinders that are precise mathematical shapes, and organic forms that are free-flowing and irregular like leaves or clouds found in nature. In art, forms can be depicted in two ways - as real, sculptural forms or as implied forms using techniques like shading to create the illusion of depth and volume on a two-dimensional surface. Examples of different types of three-dimensional forms include sculptures, ceramics, architectural structures, and earthworks.
The document discusses several key principles of art and design including:
- Design refers to the overall visual arrangement of elements in a work of art. Designing well requires careful study.
- Harmony is achieved when all elements blend together in a pleasant and unified whole, such as using only organic or geometric shapes.
- Balance refers to the distribution of visual weight, which can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.
- Rhythm uses visual repetition to create interest, seen in repeating colors, lines or shapes.
- Emphasis draws the eye to the focal point, seen through contrasting colors or lighting.
- Proportion concerns the relationship between parts and the whole.
Impressionism was an artistic movement that originated in France in the 19th century. It focused on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light using loose brushstrokes and vivid colors. The Impressionists broke from traditional techniques taught by the academies and sought to paint en plein air. Their works featured everyday subjects painted in an spontaneous style that emphasized visual perception over photographic accuracy. Some of the leading Impressionist artists included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, and Cassatt.
This document provides an overview of abstract art and profiles two abstract artists, Renata Bernal and Willem de Kooning.

It then gives biographical details and examples of work by Renata Bernal and Willem de Kooning, describing their artistic styles and evolution over their careers.
Printmaking is a form of art that involves transferring ink from a matrix, such as linoleum, to paper to create multiple copies of the same artwork. The document discusses the history and types of printmaking, including relief printing which uses linocuts. It provides instructions for creating a linocut print, including sketching a design, transferring it to linoleum, carving away areas to create the design, inking the linoleum, and printing the design onto paper. Creating prints with multiple colors requires cleaning and re-carving the linoleum between applying each color.
Abstract Expressionism was a mid-20th century art movement centered in New York City. Artists applied paint forcefully and non-geometrically to large canvases to express inner emotions and feelings. There were two main techniques - action painting involving dripped and splattered paint, and color field painting using solid fields of color. Pioneering artists included Jackson Pollock, famous for his drip paintings, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko known for his blocks of color. Abstract Expressionism emphasized individual expression and made New York a new center for art.
The document provides an overview of Byzantine art from 500-1453 CE. It discusses that the Byzantine Empire emerged after the split of the Western and Eastern Roman Empire. Key aspects of Byzantine art included the use of mosaics and icons in religious works commissioned by the Church and state.

5. Use a paint brush to "paint" the glue mixture over the back of the painted glass areas.
6. Place the bottle in direct sunlight or use a hair dryer to speed
Mosaics have been around for thousands of years, dating back to around 2000 BC. Large mosaics are made by assembling small tiles or pieces of material to form a picture. The cost of mosaics can range widely, from $50 for a small piece to over $1000 for a large, professionally made mosaic. To finish a mosaic, the tiles are grouted together using a process that involves mixing grout, applying it between the tiles, smoothing it, and cleaning to reveal the final piece.
Collage art is being featured in Room 172011. The room will showcase a variety of collage works created using different materials that have been cut and glued together to form a new image or design.

This document discusses the mosaic pattern seen on CT scans of the chest. It describes how the pattern shows areas of increased and decreased density that correspond to areas of ground glassing and air trapping, respectively. The black areas represent air trapping and can be seen in conditions like bronchiolitis obliterans, sarcoidosis, and asthma. The white areas represent ground glassing and alveolitis/pneumonitis, seen in diseases like desquamative interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. The mosaic pattern results from airway disease causing air trapping or alveolitis/pneumonitis causing ground glassing.
Early mosaics originated in Asia Minor and Greece, intended as floor coverings constructed of black and white pebbles. The height of Greek mosaics was in the 2nd century BC using polychrome styles. Mosaic art spread to Rome via Greece, and then throughout the Roman Empire. Materials for mosaics included stone, glass, and ceramic tesserae set into mortar beds. Techniques included laying tesserae into floor and wall surfaces. Mosaics were also constructed on wood and bone supports. Mosaics can deteriorate over time due to soluble salts, stress, and biodeterioration. Conservation techniques include cleaning, consolidation, grouting, infilling, and sometimes lifting mosaics
Rome began as a small city-state founded by Romulus and Remus along the Tiber River in Italy. It grew to become a large empire due to its strategic location along major trade routes. Rome conquered neighboring lands and expanded its territory through military campaigns. At its height, the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia and had over 50 million inhabitants living under its rule. However, internal conflicts and invasions by external groups like the Visigoths eventually weakened the Western Roman Empire, leading to its collapse in 476 AD. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire continued on from Constantinople and is referred to as the Byzantine Empire.
The Romans created many forms of art including sculptures, paintings, architecture, and mosaics. Their sculptures were realistic in style compared to the idealized Greek sculptures that influenced them. Roman paintings included frescoes on walls and their iconic architecture featured arches, columns like Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, and structures such as aqueducts and stadiums. Mosaics were made with small tiles and often depicted Roman history and life.
The document discusses mosaics and the concepts of positive and negative space in art. A mosaic is a picture made from many small squares or pieces of material. Positive space refers to the main subject or important elements of a work, while negative space is the area around the positive space. The document encourages creating a mosaic initial by drawing a letter shape, cutting paper into pieces, and gluing the pieces within the positive space while leaving negative space in between.

This document discusses various forms of ancient Roman art including pebble mosaics, tessera mosaics, sculptures of Augustus and the Capitoline Wolf, mosaics depicting Neptune and Medusa, frescoes, and paintings. It provides examples of Roman artworks and cites sources for images on Wikimedia Commons and various websites about Roman mosaics, sculptures in Israel, and photos from ancient sites in Italy and the UK.
Roman mosaics were made during the Roman period throughout the Roman Empire using geometrical blocks called tesserae placed together to create figures, motifs, and patterns. Materials for tesserae included local natural stones, cut brick, tile, and pottery to create colors like blue, black, red, white, and yellow. Mosaics were used in a variety of private and public buildings and often depicted social, entertaining, mythological or personal scenes within wider geometric patterns.
Wealthy Roman men would recline on couches to eat dinner parties consisting of 3 courses - an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. The appetizer may have included eggs, lettuce, or shellfish served with mulsum wine. The main dish featured meat like chicken, duck or fish as beef was reserved for work. Popular vegetables included artichokes, carrots and beans. Dessert was typically fruit and cakes. Food was cut bite-sized since forks weren't used, and dining was followed by drinking and entertainment. Certain foods modernly associated with Italy like tomatoes and pasta were not consumed.
This document discusses mosaicing images using the direct method. It involves image registration, warping, and compositing. Image registration geometrically aligns images taken from different viewpoints. Image warping overlaps images using geometric transformations. Image compositing blends images together to eliminate distortions and obtain a high resolution mosaic image. Applications include remote sensing, medical imaging, and video processing. The direct method assembles images without extracting features.
Roman mosaics were influenced by those in southern Italy and Greece, with the Greeks introducing mosaics from the Orient in the 8th century BC. Roman mosaics were colorful and detailed depictions found in places of worship, government buildings, and homes, often showing rulers, gods, and daily Roman life. Even when structures were in ruins, mosaics would often remain intact on floors. Early mosaics used colored pebbles, but glass, ceramics, and other materials like gold and silver were later employed. Individual pieces were called tesserae and could be as small as 1mm.
Small tesserae made of glass, stone, ceramic, and other materials are used to create mosaics, an age-old art form. It enhances the vitality and complexity of environments and is adaptable in architecture, art, and design. It is a beloved medium for artistic expression because of its robustness and customization choices.

Tile has become a popular material for modern kitchen design. It can be used for backsplashes, countertops, wall designs, and floors. New tile materials like glass and metal allow for unique backsplash designs. Larger tile sizes are preferable for countertops to reduce grout lines that need cleaning. Wall tiles or mosaics can make a stylish design element and draw attention to specific areas. Porcelain tile floors mimic wood visually but are more durable for high-traffic kitchens.

2. What is a mosaic?
A mosaic pattern is a picture or recurring pattern made up of individual
pieces. They tend to make use of small but visible spaces between each
piece, creating a semi-broken image.
What are they made from?
Traditionally made from bits of glass,
stones and shells, mosaics can now
be made from any material as long as
the overall aesthetics matches the
traditional style.
They are often seen as breathtaking
floors in villas although mosaics can
also be seen as focal features on
walls.
3. History of the mosaic
The earliest mosaics are dated around 3,000 BC and were found in the ancient
land of Mesopotamia, located in the region of modern day Iraq, Kuwait and
Syria. Typically, early examples of mosaic often depicted religious imagery or
were used to decorate the walls and ceilings of buildings of worship.
Greek and Roman
There is evidence of bronze pebble
mosaics from around 400 years BC,
some of which have been discovered in
Albania as late as the year 1916. Often
depicting mythological tales, wealth
and hunting scenes, they were typically
the centre piece of a large design with
bold elaborate framing.
4. Christian
Christian basilicas from around 400AD were known to be adorned with
wall and ceiling mosaics. Many have unfortunately crumbled and
deteriorated over the years, however there are still 4th century mosaics of
Santa Constanza and Santa Pudenziana which remain intact.
Jewish
Synagogues from around 600AD have been found decorated with floor
mosaics, with one such synagogue near Galilee displaying an interesting
cross between Jewish and Pagan beliefs.
Middle Eastern and Western Asian
Evidence of mosaics in this region have been found dating as early as
300AD. Older mosaics often depict religious events, dancers or musicians,
whereas more contemporary Muslim mosaics follow complex and intricate
patterns known as Girih.
5. What can you do with mosaics?
Have a look at the range of tiles available to you and contemplate how you
can funk up your home:
Modern Mosaics Big and bold mosaics tend to be the
contemporary mosaic of choice. Typically
these patterns are strong and stylish,
bringing an ancient art form into the
modern era.
Mono-Colour Mosaics
Tiles of the same colour separated by the
classic mosaic broken style can create a
fantastic focal feature for any bathroom or
kitchen.
6. Even Patterns These patterns can create a satisfying finish
to any tiles of any design, helping to frame a
block painted wall or brighten up an
otherwise boring set of tiles.
Uneven Patterns
Where the even pattern helps to satisfyingly frame a wall or set of tiles, the
uneven pattern can add an abstract edge. Colour can be interspersed with
earthier or plain tiles as well as incorporating more jagged edges or
unevenly shaped and spaced components
7. Which tile is best for you?
The overall look of your chosen mosaic will depend greatly on what type of
tile you decide to opt for:
Natural Tiles
The soft, neutral tones of these
natural tiles can be used to
complement the down-to-earth
home. Beiges, browns, whites
and creams can be used to
allude towards different
temperatures and a range of
richness with a wholesome feel
that other tiles may struggle to
provide.
8. Bold Tiles Perfect for the contemporary feel to
complement the more modern
decor. They can be loud, they can be
confident, but these exciting tiles
will brighten up even the most dull
of rooms.
Glass Tiles
Bringing something of a dainty and
subtle aesthetic, glass tiles can stir
up interest in any room. Anything
from cool matt tiles to glimmering
gem stones can be incorporated to
brighten and uplift your wall feature
and pull focus.
9. Where to put your mosaic...
Mosaics look great anywhere, but that’s the cop out answer, right?
Bathrooms and kitchens seem to experience the most benefit from these
cool features. As well as their potential for being water-proofed, one of
the reasons for this may be down to the fact that they complement tiles
perfectly as a border.
Mosaics can also add a contrast to the already existing tile design or wall
colour, providing a perfect border to make your feature pop.
Bathrooms and Kitchens
Everywhere else!
Be abstract, be art decor, be bold, be subtle, be you!
