Introduction
One of the most exciting subjects you can study is Art. You will see examples of it
everywhere. One of the prone places are the Early Childhood Institutions. It is a part of what
we are, the way we live and the things we do.

 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.
