Australian Art Activity - Melbourne

Mosaic Sculpture

Suitable for:

Primary levels

Materials:

Polyball 60 mm, Spills, Mosaic Squares Giant, Edding 2000 Marker black, Posca Markers, Mosaic Plastic Tiles, Sequins In a Jar Embossed, Cover Paper A4 black, PVA & Pins

How to Make a Mosaic Sculpture:

1. Use a permanent black marker to divide a Polyball into small squares.

2. Colour each square in with Posca or permanent markers to create a brightly coloured ball.

3. Cut the decorated ball in half and cut one half into two for the feet of the sculpture.

4. Cover a sheet of A4 Cover Paper in Giant Mosaic Squares and set aside to dry.

5. Use markers to decorate two Spills in lines of colour to resemble mosaic legs.

6. Create two eyes using a black marker to outline two Plastic Mosaic Tiles and glue a Sequin on to each tile.

7. Make two small slits into the top of the decorated Polyball half, for the eye tiles to be pushed into. Secure the tiles into the slits with PVA.

8. Poke the two decorated Spills into the bottom of the decorated half Polyball (body) and the other ends into the quarter pieces of decorated Polyball (feet). Use PVA to secure the Spills into the polystyrene.

9. Cut out two arms and a nose from the mosaic covered black Cover Paper. Pin or glue these to the mosaic sculpture.
