Mosaic Art
Mosaic art refers to decorating a surface with closely arranged, small fragments of materials like stone, minerals, glass, tiles, or shells.
A mosaic is a design or picture formed from small, regularly or irregularly shaped pieces of coloured stone, glass, or ceramic. These pieces are secured in place with plaster or mortar and cover a surface. Mosaics are commonly employed as decorative elements for floors and walls, with a rich history of popularity in the ancient Roman world.
