mosaic

a Mosaic is a picture that is made of many smaller photos. in photography class, we are making our own mosaics, by drawing a design on paper, the taking photos of the colors we need. after we get all of our photos printed, we will paste them onto our paper and you will be able to see a larger image. while i was at Sakura-con (super awesome) i saw a mosaic of my favorite manga/anime, Kuroshitsuji (translated to Black Butler in english). it was an image of Ciel Phantomhive and Alois Trancy. it was made of really small photos of people, and all of them were cosplayers! it was so cool! my first thought when i saw it was 'OMEGOSH OMEGOSH OMEGOSH I WANT THAT IMMA BUY IT OH NO IT'S 30 DOLLARS!' and my second thoght was 'hey it's like what we are doing in photography..'.
i would put up my own mosaic but its not done yet, but here are some other examples of mosaics:
