What is Mosaic?
Mosaic is a decorative art that consists of creating geometric or abstract figures with small fragments of materials. This technique is applied on flat surfaces such as floors, walls, and paintings, as well as on sculptures. From Greek, the term mosaic (mouseîn) refers to the muses.
What is the origin of Mosaic?
Quilt Mosaic Block pattern? Mosaic is a word of Greek origin, mousaikón, and means “work of the muses”. Mosaics are found mainly in Italy, Egypt, Macedonia – now occupied by the territories of Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria – China, and other countries. The oldest record of a mosaic is from 3,500 B.C., in the city of Ur, in the Mesopotamian region.
It is the Banner of Ur, a wooden box with panels on all four sides and a mosaic made of reddish sandstone, lapis lazuli, and other precious materials. Would it have any Quilt Mosaic Block fabric in that medium? We don’t know….
The mosaic depicts everyday scenes from Mesopotamian society. It is worth remembering that in the West, probably the Mayans and Aztecs knew the Mosaic technique before that, and for this reason there are controversies about its emergence.
But mosaic only began to gain prominence in the Greco-Roman world, specifically in floor and wall decoration and sometimes on fabrics (usually on curtains in the rooms of those considered high society Quilt Mosaic Block).[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_5]
The Greeks used to create floors with pieces of white or colored marble, laid with a compact and resistant mass. Would this be applied to fabrics as well in those days? Well if you delve into the history for sure yes! I guess from knowing the history of mosaic, Elizabeth the creator of this pattern then got the idea.
