After this basic course in mosaic making, the second workshop last week went\u00a0a step further. In<em> Mosaic \u2013 The Grammar: Focus on color and material,<\/em>\u00a0facts on color theory in mosaic making, effects of light and shadow as well as creating textures were taught to our participants.<\/p>\n<p>After a theoretical introduction, the first practical exercises were made: The students created three different color gradients: one using only\u00a0marble, one using\u00a0smalti and one with a mix of materials. For this exercise makes clear how luminosity and color intensity differ in marble, smalt, ceramics and Co. and how they\u00a0can be combined\u00a0to create a\u00a0smooth\u00a0flow of colors. At the same time, this\u00a0warm-up exercise\u00a0was intended to let the participants create\u00a0equal\u00a0forms\u00a0with the hammer and learn to glue the tesserae to the substrate with the cement adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, on the third day, the experiences made could be applied in a 20 x 20 cm work: With excerpts from the seashell motifs of the previous\u00a0workshop. After studying the gradients and transparencies in the motive,\u00a0the students selected their material and created a\u00a0color chart that served as an\u00a0orientation while\u00a0working on\u00a0a mosaic that respects\u00a0the colors and shapes of the original as good as possible.<\/p>\n<p>While outside, in the yard of the bustling <em>B\u00fcrgerzentrum<\/em>\u00a0<em>Alte Feuerwache<\/em>, a\u00a0graffiti was made in a few hours, our mosaics grew\u00a0more\u00a0slowly. And yet, all 9 participants have completed their work. Who had\u00a0finished earlier, worked on\u00a0the same motive in a second and third mosaic\u00a0of the same format in a free\u00a0interpretation: with pebbles, tiles or other materials from our fundus.<\/p>\n<p>And the results? Check them out in the gallery! We are impressed with how quickly our group has made progress \u2013 in terms of technique, use of color and material as well as in exploring new ways of working.<\/p>\n<p>I had a lot of fun in those 5 days and look forward to continue the workshop\u00a0series next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to use\u00a0the martellina efficiently\u00a0and plan the andamenti of a mosaic\u00a0had been subject of\u00a0the preceding workshop Mosaic\u2013 The ABC: focus on andamenti &amp; tools&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[408],"tags":[1267,1303],"class_list":["post-12902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","tag-ceramics-en","tag-workshop-en-2","post_format-post-format-gallery","post-item","post-even"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mused-mosaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
