Tile Art
The history of tile art is known to date back as far as the fourth millennium BC when Egyptian tile art was used to decorate various houses. During this period, clay bricks were dried in the sun or baked, with the first tile glaze being blue in color and were created from copper. Ceramic tile art was also found in Mesopotamia as early as 4,000 BC. This ceramic tile art bore decorations that were white and blue striped and later possessed more intricate patterns and varied colors.
