Mosaic
15 Mar 2012
Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other
materials.
It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration, or of cultural and spiritual significance as in a cathedral.
Small pieces, normally roughly cubic, of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae, (diminutive tessellae), are used to create a pattern or picture.
