Description

In this workshop, we will explore the visual language of Roman Mosaics, which often depict gods, mythological creatures, animals, and symbols of protection, strength, and fortune, while also telling stories of gladiatorial battles. These images not only told stories but also conveyed meaning beyond decoration. Instead of traditional mosaic tiling, we will create faux-mosaics using watercolor. Each person will paint small squares that together form a unified image inspired by ancient Roman symbology.

Both experienced and first-time artists are invited to participate in these one- day workshops, where different art techniques and mediums are explored each session.

*A $10 materials fee (cash or check) is due to the instructor at the time of the workshop. Pre-registration is required. Location: Joslyn Center.
