Making meaning of paintings - symbols
Broken strings on lute symbolises discord
The skull symbolises mortality
The survey
• MY ONLINE MOSAIC SURVEY• 1. What sort of colours do you think of when
you think of me?• 2. What symbols do you think should
represent 'me' on my mosaic?• 3. What sort of mosaic do you think I ought
to create that would represent 'me'?• 4. Where do you think I ought to display my
mosaic?• 5. What shape do you think my mosaic
should be?

Planning a design
• Points to consider for exteriors– What is the mosaic for?– Where is it going to be sited?– Do you want to blend it in, or will it be the
focus form which all else flows?– Are the colours of the mosaic suitable for its
purpose, size and location?– Is the mosaic the right size for its specific
purpose: not so small that is is lost, nor so big that it dominates the space?
My design
• The pot which represents my family and my roots – filled with good soil.
• The red ribbon represents a gift and ‘ties’ things together for me in celebration.
