Project Ideas
|
|
 |
Group mosaic projects come in many shapes and sizes, the following
are just some ideas to get you started!
Please call me with any questions or ideas. |
Murals |
| These can be in many different themes
and sizes and be inside or outside, and the design would be part
of the project. |

Signs |
| These can be any size, and be for inside
or outside. I often work with schools to create a mosaic version
of their school name and logo as an external entrance sign. |

Mirror Murals |
| These consist of creating small
mosaic mirrors or letters, usually one per child/adult, which are
then placed together to create a large mirror. An advantage of this
type of project in a school is that I can work with up to around
200 children in a day, working with a class at a time. |

Paving Slabs |
| Using pre-cast concrete
slabs which when mosaiced can be placed within or alongside a path,
within a garden, etc. |

Human Sundials |
| This type of sundial is
built using mosaiced paving slabs placed in the ground in a semicircle
with the shadow of a child or adult standing in the middle falling
onto the slabs to tell the time. Please go to (insert page link) for
more detail and examples. |

|
Compass Point |
| Similar to a human sundial
but using a circular slab and a ring of eight slabs placed around it.
You can then use this to plot shadows, their direction and movement,
but not actually tell the time. |

Designing the
Mosaic |
Initial Meeting
Depending on the nature of the project a design for the mosaic piece
can be put together very quickly based on a meeting, such as
mosaicing a school or group logo and name.
Design Session
You may wish to have a project where there are number of design
sessions leading to the creation of the mosaic. The advantage
of these is that I can guide the group and give them advice on
how suitable an image is mosaic. |
