Определение и Значение "mosaic"

What is a "mosaic"?

A mosaic is a type of art created by putting together small pieces of materials, such as colored glass, stones, or tiles, to form a larger image or pattern. The individual pieces, called tesserae, are arranged on a surface, such as a wall or floor, and then fixed in place with grout or glue. Mosaics can create detailed and typically colorful designs, and they are often used to cover large areas or to create elaborate artwork. They have been used for thousands of years in various cultures to decorate buildings, public spaces, and artworks, providing a durable and visually impressive way to decorate surfaces. Mosaics are not only used for decoration but are also used as a way to tell stories or show scenes through their patterns and images.
