Upon completion of your mosaic, explain the meaning of your symbol, reflect on the process of making a mosaic, and imagine what it would have been like to create a large scale mosaic in a church over 1500 years ago.
For my mosaic I did the 4- Point Star. The four-pointed star symbol in Christianity is usually styled to show a cross. Also known as the Star of Bethlehem or natal star, this star represents both Jesus' birth and the purpose for which he was born.
It is used especially for church decoration during the Advent and Christmas seasons.
Making a mosaic was really fun. It took me one in a half hour to finish the mosaic. I did my borders blue and inside the border brown, continuing with green. I had my 4-point star in the middle I made it blue on the two sides and the rest I did it purple. This was a mosaic so I needed to have spaces in between each tile of paper. The tiles of my border were really close, but after when I got inside the picture I fixed that.
If I were to create a large scale mosaic it would take a long time and I would need to have some powerful glue and maybe need some help. I think that it would be really valuable to have a great mosaic in a church that is over 1500 years ago. I guess that it would mean a lot to
the people from that religion.
This is one of the classic mosaics that people make.
