Mosaics
Students learned about the mosaics of San Marco Cathedral and the importance of mosaics in history. For their projects, students were to bring in or choose an animal photo and sketch it. The class then ripped a variety of colorful pages from magazines and used small torn pieces of color to create a realistically shaded final product.
