LEGO Art: brick mosaics of our favorite themes
LEGO Art
LEGO Art is becoming a rather consolidated line, the new range of sets intended for adults with which mosaic-paintings can be built to then hang at home or in the office. The peculiarity of these particular sets is that by purchasing more copies of the set, it is possible to create a mosaic of larger dimensions and with a larger and different subject / image from those achievable (alternatively one to the other) with each copy of the set itself. Let's go and discover this very particular line together?Made its debut at the beginning of August 2020, the line has launched a new creative concept thanks to the collaboration with some of its historical partners. The first four sets of the LEGO Art line offered more creative adults a different way to transform their passion into art for display. All four new sets contain an autographed 2 × 4 tile, just like real works of art, and a new element specially designed to hang mosaics once built.

if (jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh3_1"). is (": visible")) {console.log ("Edinet ADV adding zone: tag crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh3_1 slot id: th_culturapop_d_mh3"); } The new sets of the LEGO Art line are basically buildable "images" of 48 × 48 stud size and introduce a series of new elements including a larger brick separator designed specifically to make it easy to remove the plates and tiles to reconstruct the different images "provided" by the set, of the special baseplates in whose thickness are inserted the holes for the LEGO Technic pins that will be used to join the 9 "macro-tiles" 16 × 16 that make up the frame of the single mosaic and a special element LEGO Technic to be fixed on the back, they can be reconstructed into several images and, in some cases, combined to create larger images.
if (jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh4_1"). Is (": visible" )) {console.log ("Edinet ADV adding zone: tag crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh4_1 slot id: th_culturapop_d_mh4"); } The first 4 sets of this new LEGO Art line were:
31197 Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol; 31198 The Beatles; 31199 Marvel Studios Iron Man; 31200 Star Wars The Sith; The sets contain from 2,933 of The Beatles mosaic to 3,406 of that of the Sith. The mosaics dedicated to Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles include 1 × 1 tile rounds, while those dedicated to Iron Man and the Sith contain 1 × 1 plates. Basically, a kind of DOTS set (which we talked about in this article) for adult builders (and in fact, like many of the latest sets released, they bear the “18+” logo). The images are built on special baseplates, which are created one at a time as if they were in turn large pieces of a mosaic, and the instructions will show a simple diagram of the arrangement of the tiles or plates on the baseplates themselves.
Each set "includes" (you can download it after purchasing the sets) a specific podcast, designed and intended to be listened to during construction. They are presented by experts who discuss the topic depicted in the mosaic and last about 90 minutes.
In 2021 another 4 sets arrived, one of which is a LEGO subject and therefore not referred to a subject of any license:
Set # 31201 Hogwarts Crests; Set # 31202 Mickey and Minnie; Set # 31203 World map; Set # 21226 Art project - Let's create together For this new round of sets, we start from the 2,658 pieces of the set dedicated to Mickey and Minnie to the stratospheric 11,695 pieces of the set that reproduces the map of the world, passing through the more than 4,000 pieces each of the sets related to Harry Potter and the Art Project.
