Product Description
Israel is a land full of history, ancient and modern. It’s a holy site for three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It’s a land of lush agriculture and barren desert, and a treasure of art, architecture and archeology. Must-see sites include the golden stone buildings of Jerusalem, the ruins of homes from Biblical times, Roman ruins, and Byzantine buildings.
Look a little closer, and inside many of the country’s architectural finds you will discover mosaics: inside Herod’s palaces, in the ruins of ancient homes, and in Byzantine and modern churches.
This art lesson uses a simple mosaic from the floor of a church in Galilee as inspiration for creating a mosaic made out of construction paper. Students will design a simple object, cut paper “tiles” to apply to the design, and then use principles of visual balance as they finish the picture. The end result is a strikingly modern image: think of it as a highly pixelated image of a simple object!
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson.

- Introduction and warm-up activity: 15 minutes
