Montessori Mosaic Celebrates with DeColores Montessori School

_____________________________________

On May 7, Montessori Mosaic participated in DeColores Montessori School's annual concert and carnival.  It was so exciting to be a part of this special event.  A customized mosaic was specially designed for the school, which is celebrated its 25th anniversary. 

Custom Project Helps Raise

Over $1,000 for School in Tulsa, OK

_____________________________________

Possibilities are endless, which is why we love custom projects!  Most recently a wonderful teacher from Tulsa came to us with an idea to design mosaics that could be used to create nesting boxes as a work for use in the classroom.  When it comes to photo mosaics, bigger is almost always better so it took some time, effort and creative thinking to get the images just right. The results, which are pictured below, were better than we could have imagined. Once complete the school decided to place the work up for auction at at its annual fundraising event.  The boxes brought in $1,100 for their school.  It was thrilling!  So, we invite anyone who has an idea for a customized project to contact us.  You never know what we'll create together!

Thanks CMS Conference Attendees

Two new mosaic designs were revealed - A Limited Edition black and white Maria Montessori mosaic and the Child's Tree, which is based on a child's painting of a tree from his perspective.  They can now be purchased here on our website as well.

The First Mosaic - The Role of the Adult

This mosaic is the one that was created to fulfill an assignment in philosophy class during my training as a Montessori teacher.  I never dreamed it would spark such interest. To learn more about the first mosaic go to About the First Mosaic

Since then, I have created others based on the Montessori philosophy.  To see available images go to Designs & Pricing.

PURCHASING A MOSAIC

What is a Photo Mosaic?

 A photographic mosaic is an image that has been divided into equal sized sections, or tiles, each of which is replaced with another photograph of appropriate average color. When viewed as a whole the individual tiles appear as the primary image while close examination reveals that it is in fact made up of many hundreds or thousands of smaller images.

 The tiles that comprise the larger picture are small photographs of Montessori lessons, like this one, and other meaningful images.
