Within the framework of artistic education, given by professors of the area of Architectural Graphic Expression, in the Degree of Industrial Design of the University of Valladolid, a Project of Teaching Innovation was carried out during the academic year 2017-2018. Carried out in collaboration with the Museum of Valladolid, the objective  is the study and the reinterpretation of one of the mosaics exhibited in the Museum: the one dedicated to Diana and the four seasons from the Roman Villa of Prado, and subsequently proceed to its physical reproduction at large scale, and its exhibition in the patio of the Museum. Thus, the students were able to familiarize themselves with the mosaic execution techniques, as well as to participate in a collective art project, with its subsequent practical application in a museum institution.
