Roman Decoration

Task

No additional resources required.

Look at the pictures of the Roman mosaics. What shape pieces are they made from? What colours do they use? What different shapes and patterns can you spot? You should find:

  • lozenges
  • a knot pattern
  • a labyrinth pattern a bit like a spiral
  • lines
  • parts of squares
  • interlace like a picture of two ropes twisted together
  • a heart
