Learn how to use simple techniques to create your own mosaic design through geometric patterning and symmetry. Appearing in constructions as far back as the Sumerian culture, and renowned in exceptional architectural examples of the Muslim culture, tesselation designs appear in artwork throughout world cultures and time. Listen to a brief talk about tessellations in both history and art, as well as how they appear all around us in both nature and design motifs. Then, make repeating patterns to create a beautiful piece of original art. For ages 8 and older.
