Thousands of years ago, the Greeks and Romans introduced a style of design that began with simple pebbles and colored stones. Today, mosaic art is a time-honored craft treasured throughout the world. Spiraling pinwheels, exploding geometrics, undulating waves, rhythmic zig-zags, and circular pathways are just some of the intriguing motifs you'll find in this imaginative collection of thirty images. Sure to satisfy creative colorists, the showcase will also serve as a source of inspiration for designers.

More than 30 historic mosaics feature works by Gaudí from Barcelona's Park Güell plus ancient Roman and Islamic art. Sources include synagogues, Christian basilicas, and mosques in Tunis, Ravenna, Venice, and Jerusalem.

Sixteen modern examples of mosaic art, bursting with spiraling pinwheels, exploding geometrics, undulating waves, and more. Remove the perforated pages from the book after coloring and hold up to a light source for a glowing effect.

When you follow the numbers in each shape, designating a color from the common color pallet, abstract images become clear. From animals to still life images to patterns from nature, miraculous mosaics take shape.
