Pieces come
together
Our women’s class has got really into painting, and is finally starting to think about how to build compositions using the entire page. This class we set them the task of making mosaics — constructing a single image out of fragments of coloured squares. The goal was to combine what we’ve previously explored making patterns and mandalas and add colour to make images.

We got a lot of great feedback as well — students told us they really enjoyed making these works, they sat silently and didn’t speak for three hours straight, and we saw them sharing skills with one another, like borrowing and sharing colours on their palettes. Some kept working through the week and brought completed works to the class after. It was nice to see the class, like the mosaic paintings, come together!
