DETAILS OF THE ADVANCED MOSAIC VIDEO COURSE

The course is theoretical but above all practical. We recommend organizing your study in this order:

1. Study of the manual “The compositional rules”.

2. Performing the practical exercises contained in the PDF “Exercises”. To perform these exercises, you need to print the PDF also in B&W. For some exercises, you will need a drawing pencil and an eraser (not included in the advanced mosaic video course package), for others, you will need the materials and tools contained in the Tool Case.

3. Choice of the first technique and mosaic style to study and execute. An example: direct technique video course + study of the direct technique manual (PDF) and start executing one of the kits received relating to the direct technique.

4. The times to perform these operations are up to the student. The only constraint is given by the drying times of the glues that allow the tiles to remain attached.

5. Set up the first appointment via video call to clarify doubts or ask questions to the mosaic teacher.

Theoretical topics of study:

• presentation of all the tools and materials for making mosaics,

• presentation of the main techniques used to create both classic and modern mosaics.

• presentation of the different phases and styles of mosaic throughout history.

Mosaic styles in history that will be studied and explored through the execution of mosaics:
