Mosiac

 On my mosaic I decided to do the symbol Alpha and Omega. This is a christian symbol meant to represent what god said, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord" (Revelation 1:8). This comes from Alpha, which is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Omega, which is the last letter in the Greek alphabet. The process of making the mosaic was easy but very long and arduous. It consisted of cutting pieces of paper and gluing them on which I had to do over, and over, and over again. There wasn't that much planning except drawing where the symbol and border would be. To design a mosaic 1500 years ago must have been a huge pain and very boring. There would have been very much planning involved, way more than what I did. They would also need a lot more focus and would need to find the exact correct pieces so it fits together perfectly. Not to mention that they would also need to be artists so they could design good pictures, which would probably be hard for an average artist like me. There would also have to be immense detail on a large scale mosaic including lots of different colors.
