The module provides students with an in-depth introduction to the techniques of making mosaic in a professional workshop. Students will work with a range of advanced tools (hammer and hardie) and a diversity of materials (smalti, marble, etc.) based on traditional and contemporary methods into which they conduct further investigation. They will handle complex processes of installing and presenting mosaic in a professional capacity, while also identifying problems and issues that may arise in the fabrication process.
Students on the module will focus on Roman mosaics (Term 1) and Byzantine mosaics in (Term 2), while making their own project in Term 3.
This module is taught at Level 7 SCQF (Level 4 RQF) and is validated by Scottish Qualifications Authority.
