Intro to Mosaic Art

Madeleine Domingue

Learn an ancient art form while exploring your creative side. This hands-on course is a great building block for those who are interested in doing larger projects in the future, or just want to experiment with the mosaic medium. You don't need to have any drawing, painting or sculpting skills to create a unique and creative art piece. Participants will learn about mosaic design, the terminology, resources and types of materials required to complete a mosaic art piece. Students will explore the fundamental techniques and create their very own, unique mosaic panel inspired by their own ideas or an image of their choosing, while utilizing a wide range of materials, grouts, adhesives and tools.

A journal can be a vibrant reflection of the self – a receptacle for the events, issues, dreams, words, ideas and visual images that shape our lives. We will explore, collect, record, develop and give voice to this material, aided by various creative exercises including those devoted to writing, drawing and the use of colour. No previous experience is necessary.

Discover the rich expressiveness of art materials while you develop your own personal artistic vision.

This course is designed for new artists, as well as those with some experience.
