What shapes can you see? Look at the spaces between the pieces. What else do you think is important?

We are going to be designing and making a Romanstyle mosaic. • You will: • learn how Romans made mosaics • Plan and create your own Mosaic

Roman Mosaics Rich Romans lived in houses called VILLAS. The floors and walls of these Villas were decorated in elaborate MOSAICS showed everything from scenes of everyday life, to fantastic images from Roman and Greek MYTHOLOGY. Many Romans believed that more colourful MOSAICS would show people how wealthy they were! The Romans often used mosaics a bit like we would a floor rug for decoration.

What do Roman mosaics and your computer or TV screen have in common? Would you agree they both have pixels?

How Romans made Mosaics First, an expert Mosaic maker would draw a plan of the design and pattern. A small area of the floor at a time is covered in wet plaster. Why would they only do a small bit at a time?

The mosaic maker would then add small pieces of tile to the plaster. The tiles are laid according to the design. Why would they follow the design? When the mosaic was finished it would be polished. Why do you think they would polish the mosaic?

These are actual ROMAN MOSAICS.

How to make your mosaic Planning Why is it important to plan something before you make it? You will now sketch plan a variety of mosaic designs. Remember to think about the tiles and shapes you will use later!

When you have all finished, choose one of the designs you would like to make. Follow the steps. 1. Draw up a grid. 2. Plan which colours you will use where by writing them on the grid. 4 to 6 colours works best. 3. Cut coloured bits of paper to size and glue these on to finish your design.
