WALT: Use 2D shapes and the polyline tool to create mosaic art on Google Drawings.

Similar to the self-portrait activity above, another creative way to make art with Google Drawings is this mosaic project. Rather than trying to make a "realistic" version of yourself, in this activity you transform a source image with colored shapes like mosaic tiles or stained glass.

Here's the basic steps:

• Create a Google Drawing and set the background to black.

• Then insert the photo you want to transform.

• Next use any of the "Shape" tools or the "Polyline" tool to cover the image with quadrilaterals, triangles, or other shapes that fit your desired style.

• Leave some room between the shapes so the background can show through later.

• Color in the shapes to match the portion of the image they are covering (again you can go with the default colors provided in Drawings, or you can use a color picker extension then set a custom fill color).

• When done, delete the original image so that you just have your colors tiles on the black background for you completed mosaic art.
