The mosaic i made was of a Trefoil. A Trefoil or a "three leafed plant" is to resemble three rings over lapping each other. This symbol is used in Christianity and different types of architecture. The Trefoil got the idea from the three leafed clover.
The process of making my mosaic, was quite complicated and difficult to make. First of all before i started to make the outline of my mosaic. I had to find a symbol that i would like to do. After choosing a symbol. you had to print it out and then trace it. After tracing it you would dram a border around your symbol. Then you would choose colors that would go together and not take away from the picture. After you have down all that, you take the colors of paper and cut lines of the color out, so that you get tons of little boxes. Then you first glue the color of the boxes into the symbol, then you take a different color and glue it around the symbol. After doing all these steps. You do the border for the entire page. Then your done.
i chose this symbol because it looked really cool, the way it looked the colors that i used to make the mosaic. Doing this project was pretty hard because you had to line up the little boxes. Also you want to to try not to put to much glue on because then it screws up the entire picture.
I really liked this project, i think it was one of the best Ms. Moore has every come up with this semester.
