Most panoramas that you'll see are horizontal (long and narrow), but a vertorama is vertical in orientation. So what exactly is a 'Vertorama'? It's nothing more than an abbreviation for the words 'Vertical Panorama'. for a few years I shot nothing but Vertoramas (and I always called them that). I'd never heard of that word before that date.Īlthough I won't ever claim to be the first person to create a Vertorama (or to call it that). On the 20th of June 2007 (nearly 15 years ago now). I have uploaded this image (the 'map') as a public domain image if anyone should wish to chase that idea down.

Seems to me a school-wide project like this captures student involvement on many fronts: 1) art (of course), 2) history - van gogh or other artist, 3) computers - creating the digital mosaic 'map', 4) mathematics - pixels x pixels, lego dimensions translate into full size artwork, 5) shop class - assembly (for the long-term), how to mount the final work and secure it for display (cafeteria?). I tried unsuccessfully to convince the art teacher at my son's middle school some years ago to undertake the creation of a large-scale Lego mosaic such as this as a school-wide art project, offering my help to fundraise for the bricks and execute the project with kids.

The full-size mosaic thus created would require about 74,050 1x1 Lego bricks. This image could be used as a 'map' to create a full-size mosaic 96”x76”. Created as a 96” x 76” (300 ppi) mosaic image (more than 2.5x the size of Vincent’s masterpiece) using a library of 16 images of 1x1 Lego bricks in the 16 available colors (black, brick orange, brick yellow, bright blue, bright red violet, bright red, bright yellow, bright yellow-green, dark green, dark steel grey, light purple, medium blue, medium lavender, medium steel grey, red-brown, and white). This is a “virtual” Lego mosaic created in “Andrea Mosaic”.
