Christian Sign

The meaning of my mosaic symbol: 
My Symbol is a cross and the fish. The cross represents Jess's sacrifice for mankind, it is also the very place he was killed, even though it has a lot of bible story representation, it also represents the mainly used Christian Symbol. The fish on the mosaic represents the fish that Jesus gave to the people in one of the Bible stories.

Reflect on the process of making a mosaic: 
Finding the picture for the mosaic was fairly easy to choose, then all you had to do is choose the colors that would bring out your mosaic and make it more interesting that the others. But the hardest part of actually making the mosaic was cutting out the squares in that same size.

Imagination of making a real scale mosaic in a church over 1500 years ago: 
In my opinion it would be very difficult to create a church over 230 feet high, imagine how hard it would be to finish off the top, without any machinery or high tech materials. And the amount of paint would be huge, but also actually painting the mosaics on the church that is over 200 feet high.
