Mosaic Corn
A mosaic is art created by placing small shapes alongside one another to fill a space with color. The earliest mosaics date back to decorative work in Greek and Roman religious structures.
Kindergarten students examined a Byzantine mosaic of a duck to familiarize themselves with the concept of a mosaic. We examined some seasonal harvest corn and the children made connections between the colored construction squares of our project and the colored kernels of the corn.
Students were instructed to place their squares close together without allowing them to touch which tested their gluing and placement skills and served as a fine motor exercise.
