 MOSAIC ART

A mosaic is a picture made up of small parts which are traditionally tiny tiles made out of
terracotta, pieces of glass, ceramics or marble and usually inlayed into floors and walls.

Types of Mosaic Art

 Metal mosaics

Metal mosaics bring a unique and special touch to the place where they are placed thanks to
their unique designs. The wide variety of textures and finishes make them the perfect
elements for any type of room, whether in our own home or office.

 Natural stone mosaics

The use of natural stone for the creation of mosaics offers high-quality results with a great
possibility of sizes, formats, colours, and finishes. This type of mosaics provides good taste
and elegance to any room in which they are placed.

 Natural wood mosaics

Natural wood mosaics, among the different types of mosaics that exist, are a favourite to
place on the walls of indoor spaces in which are perfect to achieve a different and unique
touch.

 Paper Mosaics
Mosaics were traditionally made with bits of tile or glass, but it is possible to make simple
ones using paper. They are a great project for school children to do while learning about
different cultures throughout history. 
 Collage Art
Collage describes both the technique and the resulting work of art in which pieces of paper,
photographs, fabric and other ephemera are arranged and stuck down onto a supporting
surface.

A collage is a form of visual arts in which visual elements are combined to create a new
image that conveys a message or idea. Collage comes from the French word “collér,”
which means “to glue,” often the primary means of combining images in collage art.
Collagers can draw these images from newspaper clippings or print advertisements, or cull
them from different materials, like photographs, fabric, wood, and even ephemera.
Collagers can apply the images to the surface of another work of art, such as a canvas, to
create a new single image.

There are many different types of collages, all based on the

materials used, including:
1. Papier collé. Taken from the French term meaning “pasted paper” or “paper cut-
out,” papier collé, or paper collage, is a collaging technique in which printed or
decorated paper is applied to a surface, such as canvas, to create a new image.

2.  Découpage. Initially used to describe a seventeenth-century form of furniture-

making and decoration, découpage, taken from the French word “découper,”
meaning to “cut out” involves the arranging and pasting of coloured paper cut-outs,
often by layering, to create an image. The image is then sealed with varnish.

3. Photomontage. A collage created by cutting and gluing other photographs to create

a new image is known as photomontage or compositing. The new image is
frequently photographed to create a seamless element to the photo collage. The
prominence of digital image-editing software has led to greater ease in creating
photomontage.

 Painting Art

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, colour or other medium to a solid surface.

The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as
knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. The final work is
called a painting. The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas,
wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate
multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole
objects.

Types of Painting Art:

 Watercolour is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended
in a water-soluble vehicle. The traditional and most common support for watercolour
paintings is paper; other supports include papyrus, bark papers,
plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, wood and canvas.

 Gouache is a water-based paint consisting of pigment and other materials designed to

be used in an opaque painting method. Gouache differs from watercolour in that the
particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional,
inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present.

 Ink paintings are done with a liquid that contains pigments or dyes and is used to
colour a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Ink is used for drawing with
a pen, brush, or quill. Ink can be a complex medium, composed of solvents, pigments,
dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surfactants, particulate matter, fluoresces, and
other materials.
 Dotting Art

Dot paintings vary from the finest of minute marks neatly arranged on the canvas to the wild
multi-coloured large dotting of some of the desert women. Some artists merge their dots into
lines, or even into wide areas of connecting dots which have more of a stippled effect than a
'dotted' appearance. The defining criterion for a dot painting is the technique used that it is
produced by repeated imprints of a paint covered brush, dotting stick or other implement onto
the surface of the painting and that in doing so, there are recognisable 'dot' marks on the
canvas.
Dot paintings are now internationally recognised as unique and integral to Australian
Aboriginal Art. 

The simple dot style as well as cross hatching maybe beautifully aesthetic to the eye but has a
far more hidden meaning and deeper purpose; to disguise the sacred meanings behind the
stories in the paintings.

 
 Etching Art

Etching is an intaglio printmaking process in which lines or areas are incised using acid into a
metal plate in order to hold the ink. In etching, the plate can be made of iron, copper, paper,
or zinc.

To prepare the plate for etching, it is first polished to remove all scratches and imperfections
from the surface. When the surface is completely smooth, it is covered evenly with a layer of
acid-resistant varnish or wax, which is called the ground.

Using a blunt stylus called an etching needle, the printmaker gently scratches away parts of
the ground following the design, thereby exposing the metal beneath.

Types of Etching:

 Wet Etching

The most basic etching process is wet etching, also known as chemical etching. It entails the
chemical removal of a substance using a liquid reactant. It might be a chemical that dissolves
the etching substance or a chemical mixture that oxidizes the fabric first then dissolves the
oxide. 

 Dry Etching

Dry etching, also referred to as Plasma etching, is the process of removing a masked pattern
of semiconductor material by bombarding it with ions. Typically, the ions are a plasma of
reactive gases like oxygen, boron, fluorocarbons, chlorine, and trichloride. To get rid of
portions of the fabric of the exposed surface, nitrogen, helium, argon, and other gases are
sometimes used. 
 Colouring

Colouring is the process or art of applying colour anything used to give colour, such as dye, paint,
etc appearance with regard to shade and colour arrangements of colours and tones,

Colouring can be an amazing mindful activity, a form of self-care, an opportunity to pick up

new skills and try new things, and above all else it is lot of fun!
Colouring is a great activity that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. It’s relaxing,
inexpensive, and an ideal way to get creative without needing many supplies. To begin
colouring, choose what you want to colour and the tools that you want to use.

Type of Colouring:

Greyscale is a type of colouring page that incorporates hatching and shaded areas into the
design, as opposed to clean black and white line art.

How to Colour?

1. Pick the tools that you want to colour with. While colouring is traditionally done
with crayon, use any tools that you feel comfortable with
2. Use light layers and gradually build up the layers to darken the
colour. Especially when using coloured pencils, it’s very important to gradually
darken the colour using multiple layers.
3. Colour in the same direction and from the outside in to keep it neat. Start from
the outside of a section and work your way towards the center as you colour. 
4. Experiment with different techniques to become more creative as you
colour. Try shading by using a combination of light and dark tones to show where
the aspects of your drawings that are highlighted.
5. Take your time to enjoy colouring. Use your time colouring to enjoy being in the
moment and focusing on the task at hand
 Straw blowing Art

Straw blowing is a unique artwork by blowing colourful paint across the paper using straws
Blow painting is a wonderful process art project with unpredictable and beautiful results.

How to create straw blowing art:

1. Mix liquid watercolours in individual cups with water.

2. Place a piece of paper on a tray.

3. Place the straw in a one of the liquid watercolour cups. Now place your
fingertip over the top of the straw and lift up without removing your finger.

4. Place the straw over your paper and let go. The paint will drop onto the paper.

5. Place the straw near the drop of paint and blow to move the paint around.

6. Repeat with more colours.

 Weaving Art

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are

interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.
Paper weaving is a way of taking strips of paper and placing them either "over" or "under"
the base piece of paper. The weaving is created in different colours and patterns to create
artwork.

Paper weaving is a popular school craft, particularly for young children. Weaving helps
children develop dexterity and coordination and can also reinforce lessons on colours and
patterns. It does not take a lot of talent to make a simple woven mat, and young artists of all
skill levels can participate and quickly master the technique.
 Paper Folding Art

Origami ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" is the art of paper folding, which

is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an
inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin.

The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding
and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts,
glue, or markings on the paper. 

Types of Folding:

 Wet-folding is an origami technique for producing models with gentle curves rather
than geometric straight folds and flat surfaces. The paper is dampened so it can be
moulded easily, the final model keeps its shape when it dries. It can be used, for
instance, to produce very natural looking animal models.

 Strip folding is a combination of paper folding and paper weaving.

 Lacing Art

Lacing is the poured resin effect where the pigments separate out and create a look that
resembles lace. This technique is one of the most recognizable acrylic paints pouring
techniques you may have seen before.

Lacing art is a great activity for those who want to learn about patterns while beading is a
skill that will help students learn hand-eye coordination. 
 Child’s Art

Child art is the drawings, paintings, or other artistic works created by children. The
term was coined by Franz Cižek in the 1890s. The art of each child reflects their
level of self-awareness and the degree to which they are integrated with their
environment.
 Printing Art

Printmaking is the process of creating artworks by printing, normally on paper, but also

on fabric, wood, metal, and other surfaces.

How to Create Printing Activity:

Choose leaves that are still fresh and pliable. Leaves that are dried will not work, as they'll
snap and crumble when pressed or worked on.
 Make sure that the leaves are dry before using.
Lay newspapers down to protect your work surface.
 Select a piece of paper for your leaf print. Squeeze a little paint onto a small plate or
palette.
Paint the surface of the leaf with paint.
 This is best done by placing the leaf on kitchen paper towel and painting over using a
small paint roller suitable for craft projects. Make sure the entire leaf is covered.
Gently flip the leaf paint side down onto the paper. 
 Carefully but firmly press on the leaf to ensure that the entire leaf comes into contact
with the paper.
 Peel the leaf from the paper and you should have a printed mirror image of your leaf.

 Palm Printing Art

A palm print refers to an image acquired of the palm region of the hand.

This type of art is a creative way to use children's hand prints in artwork.

How to Create Palm Printing Art:

 Brush your child’s hand with the paint or plaster to create the print. Instead of having
your child’s hand in a bowl of paint or plaster, apply the material with a brush.
 Guide your child’s hand to the paper, canvas or board. Gently press down on his or
her hand to make sure you leave an actual handprint. 
 Allow the paint to dry, depending upon your project.
 Decorate the handprint using your design.
 Foot Printing Art

A foot print refers to an image acquired of the bottom region of the foot.

This type of art is a creative way to use children's foot prints in artwork.

How to Create Foot Printing Art:

 Brush your child’s foot with the paint to create the print. Instead of having your
child’s foot in a bowl of paint, apply the material with a brush.
 Guide your child’s foot to the paper, canvas or board. Gently press down on his or her
foot to make sure you leave an actual handprint. 
 Allow the paint to dry, depending upon your project.
 Decorate the footprint using your design.

 Scribbling

Scribble drawings are where you scribble lines and shapes with a pencil, pen, or marker and
create an Artwork.

Scribbles can be random, but they often have a specific pattern, such as vertical lines or dots.
These types of scribbles usually look like children’s drawings. Art therapists sometimes use
this type of art in therapy sessions to help people relax and focus.
