Who doesn’t love working with interesting found objects in mosaic art?! In this course, Kelley introduces a fresh twist on this idea: creating your own unique “found objects” mosaic art project by deconstructing and then reconstructing/recombining shapes of mosaic materials (both machined and organic) that you already have (penny rounds, glass blobs, millefiore, river stones, stained glass, and more!).
After creating these new “found objects” directly into mortar on plastic and letting them cure, Kelley will use them as the building blocks or “targets” of a mosaic art composition, which you can build along with her in real time.
As a bonus, Kelley discusses how to create an intentional configuration that can serve as your signature block. How to think about letter formations if you’d like to use your initials as your signature on your mosaic art projects, or to consider other shape groupings and types of signature blocks that might be particularly suited to you.
Here’s what you’ll be learning in this course:
How to assess ordinary shapes for new possibilities
How to effectively deconstruct various shapes into interesting sub-shapes
How to mix and match the sub-shapes into unique new abstract design elements
How to use your newly created abstract design elements to form a appealing visual composition on a substrate.
How to build a background mosaic around the compositional targets you’ve laid down, adding nuance and texture while balancing the design
How to compose and build a signature block
