I will admit – there are a plethora of quizzes out there. On Facebook, all over the internet, designed for entertainment (hopefully) and time-wasting (definitely). This one came from an artist aquaintance’s blog and I loved it…

What type of art am I? Will I be pottery – my main ingredient? Jewelry – my secret obsession? Painting – my love/hate relationship?

No.

You Are a Mosaic

You are worldly and cultured. You draw inspiration from many sources. You appreciate vivid colors and busy scenes, but you like a bit of order too. You believe that art should have many layers. It should be beautiful up close and from afar. The best art gets more interesting the longer you look at it.

Ah. I like that. And the irony… this Wednesday I will finish my first ‘real’ mosaic in a class I am team teaching. First students created and glazed tiles with me; hten my colleague took over for the actual mosaic work. Here’s my piece awaiting grout:

Mirror inside when its completed. Mosaic is much more satisfying with your own tiles!
