Mosaics are a great project for students to do their own work while collaborating with other students. For this project, we were put into groups of four and given an image that was divided in fourths. Students are provided squares of different colors that are used to create the image they were given. Students first layout the squares to create the design that aligns with the image provided. Students then use glue to paste their squares down. The four parts of the image made by the group then combine together to create the full image.
This would be a great cooperative learning strategy to use as an introduction to another project. This could also be used in math to discuss proportion and pattern.
For this project we were given a picture of a flower that was divided in fourths. As a group we decided what portion we wanted to do, picked a color scheme, then traced the flower with the black paper aligned so our flower petals would line up, then we all did our own thing to create the mosaic style. I think it looks really cool that each section is different.
