Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. How are mosaics and collages similar? How are they different? List at least two similarities and two differences.

Answer:

Answers may vary, but should include at least 2 examples: When creating a mosaic or a collage, the artist is combining pieces to created an arrangement, whether it be a specific image, a pattern, or some other desired combination. With both, the art is not in the components, but in the arrangement of the components. They are different however, in that collages tend to be less specific in the types of objects used to create the final piece and the surface it is placed on. Mosaic are most often created with tiles or some type of stone. They are also usually embedded in some type of concrete, rather then using a glue or other adhesive to paste the objects. mosaics are normally a part of floors, ceiling, or walls, rather than portable pieces of art.
