The Watts Tower took Simon Rodia 34 years to build. He was
a construction worker by day and an artist by night.

He built the tower by hand, no machines or scaffolding!

Rodia used broken bottles,
dishes and recycled materials to create
the beautiful mosaics.

It took 20,000 people to build the Taj Mahal. 2,000
elephants helped!

The Taj Mahal is an excellent example of symmetry.

and times of day.
