Lego Class #6 - Mosaics

LEGO and Art

During this class, we explored creating artwork with Lego bricks in the form of mosaics.  One piece of artwork that we looked at is Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh.  This Lego fan created Starry Night completely from Lego bricks!

We also watched the video showing another artist who makes his living designing with Lego bricks.
