The 4/5s (4th/5th graders) learned about Greek and Roman mosaics and frescoes.  We poured mosaic cement onto masonite boards and then placed our mosaic tiles onto the cement.  When it dried, we painted with watercolors on top.  A few of them cracked a bit, so next time I will probably try using plaster.
