Following on from my video which explains the Roman mosaic rules*, watch this video to find how why these rules matter.

In this video we will take a close look at a variety of mosaics, some which use the Roman rules and some which dont, in order to show you why the rules matter.

Or do they? Watch this video to see how you, the mosaic artist, can take the rules and apply them when you want or need them, and ignore them when you dont.

Rules are made to be broken, but mosaics are a very particular art form and it helps to know how to control the distraction of the tesserae to create a coherent and harmonious flow.

Then you can smash it!

A rationale of rules: practical, smooth, and elegant. Your mosaics and teaching methods are easy to absorb Helen. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Harmony, balance, direction, energy...the vocabulary is important as are the attending definitions, descriptions and examples of both good works and bad works for comparison. I really like your efforts and teaching style! Naturally, I am a subscriber, a student of yours!

Hi Helen, could you please tell me where you get your mosaic tiles from? I’m based in the UK myself.

Or in my own words, the background pulls the whole together! Thats what Impressionism was able to.do.
