ART OF ANDAMENTO WEBPAGE

Andamento Level 4 is the fourth course in the Art of Andamento: Curriculum for Mosaic. This Level  brings together and extends skills learnt in Levels 2 and 3.

Level 2: Focuses on dynamic andamento, learning to create movement, scale, and volume in mosaic without the use of colour.

Level 3: Focuses on colour theory using the Munsell system and the elements of colour: Hue, Value and Chroma

Level 4 : Brings these two things together in more complex (but still stand alone) investigations that combine colour theory and dynamic andamento Our palette building is more finely tuned and students can select to integrate larger tesserae and mixed media into their work. Andamento is generated through the examination of Value and Volume.
