Digital or Analogue Mosaics?
One of the biggest challenges for making the shift to online learning for our art classes was finding programs that allow students without a variety of materials at home to succeed through the use of websites or digital Art-making Apps.

Elective students knocked this mosaic project out of the park, choosing to either create digital mosaics by laying colored squares pixel by pixel, or by using found objects and paper at home to resourcefully create their own tesserae. These scenes from nature are inspired by a digital curriculum that had students visit several world heritage sites virtually and examine the landscape photography of National Park photographer Ansel Adams for inspiration. These illustrations represent "A Place I'd Rather Be."
