Andamento Drawing for Mosaic with Sue Giannotti

The ability to draw “andamento” – the visual flow and direction of the lines of tesserae – is key to creating a better mosaic. This valuable course covers the basic rules of drawing andamento and takes a historical look at how different tesserae shapes and interactions have been used to obtain various visual effects. A variety of exercises that focus on drawing tesserae and andamento reinforce a student’s understanding of the techniques covered. This is an essential course for those looking to improve their skills in one of the key and distinguishing traits of mosaic.
