Are the canals in venice man made?

If yes, was it just a large island before the canals were made making it little tiny islands?

Yes and no. The canals are natural waterways through low, marshy islands. They were enhanced by the Venetians as they defined the shoreline with pilings and dredging the canals to make them navigable.

The Venetian islands and probably the whole lagoon were dry land but the agean sea rose about 5000 years ago and flooded the area. Then the river flow cut the channels in the islands as the water rose.
