Mosaics in Art
Ancient floor and wall mosaics have been found dating from BCE to CE. I will discuss the cultures that were proficient in their use of materials to create mosaics that have lasted through the ages.
Glass and Marble in Art
Both substances are found in nature, with ancient origins, and able to be transformed into endless forms. I will discuss these mysterious, yet familiar mediums.

Dating to ancient Greece, writers spoke of artists using mirrors as a practical tool. From illuminated manuscripts to modern art, I will discuss a subject that is akin to the familiar 'selfie'.

Some murals and sculpture are available free to the public regardless of one's social status. Art is communication, providing more questions than answers to those of us who are curious. Are you?

Games and Sports in Art
