Among the various activities of our laboratory we organize on request mosaic courses for groups of children and school groups. They take place both in the laboratory or in the school or in spaces belonging to the people organizing it.
The courses are also part of the activities for the summer holidays in an atmosphere of play and experimentation.
We propose a simple and playful approach to the technique of the mosaic; Normally we use the technique of the direct method: the most practical way to make mosaic with children. This technique is the oldest and is to lay the tiles directly on the final binder.
The course will begin with a short planning phase where every child will have to prepare a simple design that will be the basis on which he will operate with the mosaic. After the design phase the child will begin to learn about the materials to select for color and shape and put them in place.
He will bring home his mosaic along with a certificate of participation.
