MOSAIC

    Romans and Greeks called "mosaic" pictures devoted to Muses. They did mosaic with small coloured stones, cause images should have been eternal like Muses. At present mosaic is made with small coloured bricks of glass.


SGRAFFITO

    The sgraffito style (literally translated from Italian as "harrowed") is applied to the monumental art. Two or more layers of miscellaneous color plasters are imposed on a wall. For example: lower - brown, then - green and upper - usually white. When the plaster dries up, artist starts to harrow it by metallic scratchers. Then the silhouette of brown and green images appears under a white background.
