Project #9 Patterns-Mosaic




Patterns-Mosaic Hunt

We are going to be working on a mosaic photo project. A mosaic is a picture or decoration made of small, usually colored pieces of inlaid stone, glass, etc. Instead of using stone or glass, we are going to use our photographs. Here is a list of photos I want you to “collect” (take). After you take these photos, we are going to print them (maybe even more than once). Then, we are going to cut the pictures into small shapes and glue the pieces into a mosaic design. These projects will be matted (put in paper frames). I suggest using the macro setting for your photos. I want these pictures to be mostly abstract (unrecognizable as an object). For example, if I ask you to find white, I would like to see something like a close up of the star on the flag. Feel free to take this assignment home to gather photos.You are not required to find ALL these things! This is just to help you get some ideas.
