Roman Mosaics
The floors of Roman buildings were often richly decorated with mosaics- tiny colored stones called tesserae. Rich Romans decorated the floors of their main rooms with mosaics. Students were asked to make a mosaic using colored paper to cover their "tile" a rectangle of white paper. They were told they could use any design they wanted to. Look how colorful they turned out! They are currently posted on our Think Tank bulletin board outside of our room. Come check them out!
Below are some close up examples. They are the work of Luke T, Kiyomi, and Hays.
