A colorful mosaic decorates the benches of Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona, Spain
This is just one example of the beautiful mosaics that can be found all around Antoni Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona, Spain. Download a larger image of the mosaic and share the photo with your class. Then discuss the following:
- Creative writing (can be done in English or in the foreign language studied):
A family member passes away and leaves you this piece of pottery with a note saying that it contains hidden mysteries about your family. You investigate. What do you discover?
- Art activity:
Using a piece of graph paper, design a mosaic that looks like it is made of pieces of broken pottery.
