Our class enjoyed our art lesson
very much this week because we
tried something new. We each die
a Mosaic design. Using a small
foil pan, or tin lid, we filed it with
a mixture of plaster. AS soon as
this started to harden, we placed
pieces of colored glass, buttons,
beads, marbles and other materials,
in this plaster. We had already
planned the design we were going
to use. This lesson was really
fun.
