Mosaic Art

Mosaic Art

A mural technique that involves arranging small fragments of stone, tiles, or shells on a surface to create an image.

These pieces are secured in place with plaster or mortar and cover a surface. Mosaics are commonly employed as decorative elements for floors and walls, with a rich history of popularity in the ancient Roman world.
