For History this week we have been learning about Justinian The Great, the Roman Emperor who led from the Eastern Empire capital Constantinople. He had the amazing church, Hagia Sophia built, a monument to byzantine architecture. This sparked the use of mosaics and paintings throughout Christian churches. Therefore, our class made mosaics of our own. We started by taking hammer to tile. I figured this would be a great way to let out some aggression. The smashed and smashed to their hearts content, of course with my supervision. We wrapped the tiles in a thick quilt before they went barbarian on them.They designed and created their mosaics in their houses.
