Mosaics have long been seen as the preserve of artisans in workshops or hobby crafters at home. However, this view has changed significantly in recent years as many more schools are now devoting greater time and resources to teaching children this most rewarding of crafts.
Creating patterns and images with things like beautiful mother of pearl mosaic tiles is a great project for pupils of all ages to get involved with. Indeed, mosaic classes give children the chance to be creative at school rather than merely academic, while the finished products can help to bring bare classroom walls and corridors to life!
Naturally, these aren’t the only benefits to be had.
Social Skills
Of course, mosaics is about more than simply learning where to put a mother of pearl mosaic tile; it is also a great medium for showing children how important working together as a team can be. Indeed, it is often the case that the very best results can only be achieved when children work together so doing mosaics can educate children about core social skills as well as encourage them to be creative.
Celebrations
There are few better ways to celebrate a special event than by creating a suitably impressive mosaic. Whether it’s for an annual school event like Christmas or Harvest Time or for a one-off national celebration such as the Olympics or the Queen’s Jubilee, creating a truly unique and inspirational mosaic will undoubtedly help to make it feel even more special.
