Handmade Tile Mosaics
Keeler, Rusty
Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n175 p75-78 May-Jun 2007
Just like the classroom, children's outdoor environments should be filled with artistic creations that add sparkle and imagination to the space. One of the author's favorite ways to add art to the outdoors is by installing a mosaic mural of child-made tiles. The process of making the tiles is fun for all; each tile is a charming work of art in itself, and the final mosaic mural of the tiles becomes a permanent work of beauty. The basic steps of a tile mosaic project are as follows: (1) planning; (2) making the tiles; (3) glazing the tiles; (4) firing the tiles; (5) mosaic-ing; and (6) grouting.
