Day 3 Day three requires the students to be involved with the design and the construction of a mosaic tile using tessellations. The design is to make preliminary sketches finalized with all potential problems worked out. The construction techniques of mosaic tilesetting will be demonstrated today. We will be practicing with actual small scale construcion of mosaics using actual tiles. The students make a full scale drawing and draw it out on the wood.
Students begin full scale construction of project.
The students work on the mosaic floor for the next five days. Evaluation Evaluation is based on the completion of the mosaic tilework. Working and final drawings should be accounted for and graded. In addition, the students mathematical knowledge will be tested using hyperstudio to assess their knowledge of geometry and mathematics. This activity has the students learn mathematics and art through physical actions in conjunction with web based readings.
