Fort Plain Mosaic

My Third Visit

I prepared more glass for my next visit. This was mostly background material. During this time, the kids learned about andamento or flow, for example, the boat shape pieces used to create flowing water in the fountain. The sky was simply triangle fill.

This was a great lesson in thinking and planning for the students. They really had to think about how one piece will affect the next. They could see when they left a small gap, it would be difficult to fill it in with another piece of glass.
