Why this product
Bring ancient art to life with a modern twist!
This lesson connects Roman history with hands-on creativity, showing how mosaics have evolved from marble tiles to modern designs. Filmed at the world’s largest mosaic mural in Hanoi, this resource helps students explore pattern, symmetry, colour, and craftsmanship while experimenting with both traditional and digital-inspired art.
 
How it works
Students begin by watching the Learning Made Fun YouTube video to see real mosaic art in Hanoi and a step-by-step demonstration of how to make their own.
They then complete guided tasks — from answering comprehension questions and learning key vocabulary to creating their own mosaic using either paper collage or grouted ceramic pieces.
The lesson is designed for flexibility across 1–3 sessions and includes reflection prompts for evaluating their final piece.
