Gaudí and his "trencadís" style

Antoni Gaudí was a Spanish artist and architect who lived and worked in the 19th and 20th centuries (he was born in 1852 and died in 1926.)  One of the techniques he used was "trencadís"-- a mosaic form using broken ceramic tiles to add colour and shapes to a design.

Here are some examples of his work:


A lizard from Parque Guell in Barcelona




Benches in Parque Guell

We are going to take inspriration from this technique for our next art project!
