__//Mosaic Information//__ The people that made the Mosaic paintings are very important to the Roman world becuase they are the ones who know how to make the Mosaic paintings. Some of the Mosaic paintings have matirials like glass,stone or maybe other materials. In ancient Rome to make mosaic paintings better they added details by using a peice called tesserae. That gave the art piece more details and made it look more colorful too. Sometimes too bits of pottery such as terractta were used to provide a range of colors in the painting. Most of the mosaic pictures were made to the gods they used geometric designs. These buitiful art pieces were hung up mostly at places of worship,gverment offices or even residential homes. Today in our world the mosaic art is somewhat diffrent becuase they are more durable but, the way that they are made and how long it takes is still the same. The mosaic glass first appeared in Egypt in 1400 BC. Sinc then the mosaic glass has been used for the mosaic art in the future. It was the Greek that raised the pebble mosaic art to countue to the four BC centuries. Allot of the mosaic art has been preserved for many years and are now in the museums all over the world. If the Romans wanted to make their mosaic art colorful they had to have the right amount of pebbles in color and colored stones avalible. Or else they couldnt make the mosaic art in color. The Roman mosaic art is a bit like a puzzle becuase you have the pieces and that makes a puzzle. Also a mosaic painting you hve to put the pieces together so that you can be able to make one complete mosaic painting.**
