Participants design and create one or more mosaics which
should include a key word or image that illustrates the team's
values; to display the finished mosaic(s) as a complete work
of art at the end of the session.
Working in small teams, the group is given access to all the
tools and equipment they need to create a beautiful mosaic.
Teams are encouraged to think about some of the key values
represented within the group and how these can be represented
within their mosaic. The session then starts with a brief
demonstration of the key tasks and skills involved in mosaic
work before the teams are given a set time in which to design
and glue their mosaics into place. The pieces can represent
words or images and can include found objects. Once the mosaics
have had time to dry they are grouted and polished ready for
display either as individual pieces or as group artwork.
Activities Include:
Designing a mosaic; working with tile adhesive and glass tiles
in a range of colours to assemble the finished piece onto
board; grouting and polishing the finished mosaics; creating
a piece of group artwork in which to display the finished
mosaics.
While this activity will produce great benefit on its own, we
recommend a facilitator to achieve best results. |
