This was a peer taught lesson on mosaics. We learned about the history of mosaics and how many different kinds of materials can be used to create mosaics. For our project we made paper mosaics. We had to think of a scene that involved the season of summer. Right away I thought of sunshine and water, so I made a sailboat out on the water. We used color construction paper and cut out different shapes to make our summer scene. On the notecard at the bottom of my artwork is two facts about mosaics.
An extension activity could be to use this art project to describe a scene from any children's book read aloud to your class. The students could sketch their favorite scene from the story and then make a paper mosaic project out of it. Another idea would be to just create a paper mosaic artwork because it is very fun and relaxing and a great way to decorate your classroom.
