'''Mosaic''' is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other [[materials]]. It may be a [[technique]] of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration, or of [[cultural]] and [[spiritual]] significance as in a cathedral. Small pieces, normally roughly cubic, of stone or glass of different [[colors]], known as tesserae, (diminutive tessellae), are used to create a [[pattern]] or picture.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic]
