Mosaic

The art of of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other colored material. This art is viewed in my opinion, as one of the most beautiful and creative forms of art. Mosaic is the decorative art of creating pictures and patterns on a surface by setting small pieces of coloured glass, marble or other materials in a bed of cement, plaster or other adhesives.

Mosaics were developed extensively by craftsmen, mostly in the form of pavements. later, during the era of  Byzantine art, artists specialized in creating mosaic design for walls and were reknowned for their shimmering masterpieces of gold and multi-coloured glass.
