Mosaics Murals and More

Welcome to Mosaics, Murals, and More! This group is about mosaic art, fresco/mural art, tapestry art, and stained glass art. They all intertwine in artistic expression, as stained glass is often used to create mosaics, tapestries are fabric paintings often seen hanging on walls, and murals can incorporate mosaic tiles.

All mediums are accepted. PLEASE NOTE: If you submit AI-, digital-, or computerized-crafted art, please keep in mind the group theme that images should appear with a mosaic, tapestry, fresco, mural, or stained glass effect. Those images that follow this guideline have a better chance of being accepted into the main group gallery, being featured, being Top of the Top featured, and becoming a monthly group logo.

Please no graphic nudity. The administrator has the option to not accept submissions into this group, delete submissions, feature submissions, and if necessary delete a member. It's all about respect!

Mosaics can be 2-d wall art or 3-dimensional art. This art form decorates a surface with tesserae, stone, glass, tile, shells, ceramic, and other materials. It is similar to painting. It is most often time consuming and tedious work, but the finished product if well done is enduring and captivating. Mosaics originated in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BCE. They decorated much of Ancient Rome and Greece and remain today intact or in ruins. Mosques and churches are prevalent places to find mosaic art. And today, modern mosaics delight as well with less traditional approaches.

Murals and frescoes are wall paintings seen and appreciated worldwide, whether in primitive settings or Renaissance art or modern murals. Tapestries are heavy cloth with pictures or designs woven into them used for wall hangings, curtains, etc., with an ancient/medieval origin.

The home page will be updated weekly on Mondays. Limit 1 submission per day.
