Mosaic Crosses

The 7th Grade class created mosaic crosses to celebrate Lent.  They cut small pieces of tissue paper to represent specific colors for Lent.  These pieces, when held up to light look similar to stained glass.  Each student was very creative in undertaking this project.  Most used square tiles while some used different shapes to create their work.  Some students used multiple layers to give the piece more texture.  They worked very hard on this project and were very meticulous in placing each piece on their crosses.

 

  

Here is the final project displayed in my classroom window.  The colors look wonderful and the compliments from students and staff has been tremendous!
