Mosaic Lizard – Indigenous Inspired Colours

Create your own Mosaic Lizard with our Indigenous inspired mosaic tiles!

CleverPatch™ recommends educators, teachers and event organisers work in consultation with their local Aboriginal Communities (start locally and extend out geographically) when planning activities & learning experiences. Any creative or art making activity that mirrors or replicates Aboriginal cultural experiences should always be undertaken in consultation with the appropriate owners of that cultural property.

Some materials and products may contain terms that reflect authors' views, both current or past. These views may not be considered appropriate today and are provided in a historical context. These views are not necessarily the views of CleverPatch.

  • Step 1Lay out your materials to begin your project.
  • Step 2Place the mosaic tiles on top of the wooden lizard to plan your design. Use a pencil to mark out the different sections of each colour on the wood.
  • Step 3Remove the mosaic tiles and colour each section with the corresponding colour using POSCA markers or paint. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Place a small amount of PVA glue on the back of each mosaic tile, then place onto the lizard as per your plan in step 2. Allow to dry fully. Your Mosaic Lizard is now ready to display!
