What is Mosaic Art?

Mosaic art is an ancient art form that has been used for centuries. It is a type of art that is both functional and attractive. Both the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Romans used mosaics for artistic and functional purposes, such as tile floors. Early Christians also used mosaics to adorn walls and floors of churches and other places of worship with scenes from the bible.

​

This type of art is made using small tiles or chips made from ceramics, stone or glass. These pieces are then glued onto a surface, so that they create a picture or pattern. In order to do this, tiles of several different colors and sizes are usually used.

​

Some of the most common places to find mosaic art are on floors and walls. For instance, tiled shower stalls and pools are both excellent examples of mosaics. Tiles and chips can also be affixed to other objects, such as vases and tables, to create mosaic art.
