A mosaic is an artistic technique that uses tiny parts to create a whole image or object.
Mosaic is considered one of the oldest art forms. Its long history started in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC. Pebble mosaics were made in tiryns. Mosaics with patterns and pictures became popular in classical times in both Ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
Even now, Modern mosaics are made by artists around the world, using a wide variety of materials. Modern mosaics are used everywhere now and are still a very popular art form for the whole world to enjoy!
Today mosaics are still a popular art form. They are used in kitchen glass tile mosaic backsplashes, craft projects, garden art, as fine art, sculpture, park benches, public art, and more. With mosaics you can create beautiful art work that is durable and low maintenance.
