Friday Art

We have had some friends over fortnightly to all do some art together. We started with mosaics. I'm flying fairly blind here. I went and got a couple of mosaicing books out of the library and then just kind of went for it. Not terribly technical.

The first week the children sketched some ideas for their finished piece. The next week I had the pavers and tiles ready to go and we got smashing and tiling. On the final week we grouted the pavers. Here are some pictures of the process:

Finished Products in order: Miss T's, Miss A's, and Miss K's (whose very detailed work took a little longer so she still needs to grout with black grout. And then in the one shot from left to right: Jordan's, Connor's and Mia and Mum's.
