Abstract
A method is disclosed by which an article of art comprising a mosaic-like pictorial design may be made. The pictorial design comprises an arrangement of a plurality of flat, colored pieces of material, with each piece having the configuration of a square, a triangle or a rectangle. The pieces are pictorially arranged by visually following a separate, mosaic-like pattern of numerically color-coded shapes which lie on a grid pattern of intersecting transverse and longitudinal lines which form rows of equal-sized squares and wherein the coded shapes are square, with the size of a grid square, triangular, and rectangular; the triangular shape formed by diagonally bisecting a square, and each rectangular shape by bisecting a square with a line parallel to a transverse or longitudinal line.

Method for making decorative and pictorial mosaic-like articles of art using a plurality of regularly shaped planar colored pieces of material, each of said pieces having either the shape of a square, a triangle or a rectangle, with each of said triangular pieces having the configuration of a triangle produced by a diagonal joining two corners of said square piece, and each of said rectangular pieces having the configuration produced by bisecting said square piece, and said method also using a pattern comprising a coded mosaic-like design having superimposed thereon a grid pattern of intersecting transverse and longitudinal lines which create an array of rows of equally sized squares, and said pattern also having superimposed thereon lines that diagonally bisect selected ones of said grid squares to form triangles and which bisect other selected grid squares to form rectangles, and with a color code number being applied to each unbisected squares and to each of said grid triangles and rectangles, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining, in view of said coded pattern, the amount of square, rectangular and triangular pieces of material that will comprise the finished article of art;
- (b) fabricating said determined pieces, said pieces having colors according to said color code numbers;
- (c) arranging said pieces in an array of rows corresponding to said array of rows shown on said pattern;
- and
- (d) affixing in place said arranged pieces.
