Unit: Middle Ages

Project: Stained Glass

Artist: N/A

Objectives:
1. Identify stained glass windows.
2. Use pattern to create window design.
3. Evaluate the tracing/ cutting/ gluing of the window pattern.

Materials Provided:
• Black paper- window pattern
• Glue
• White tracing worksheets
• Scissors
• Stained glass paper

Materials Needed:
• Pencils

Vocabulary:
1. Stained glass: small pieces of glass that are arranged to form patterns or pictures.

Motivation:
1. Show and discuss examples of stained glass windows.
2. Demonstrate all steps of procedure before students begin.
3. Show students the finished product.

Instruction:
1. Pick out one sheet of the black pattern paper and one sheet of the white pattern paper. Choose three different sheets of the stained glass paper. These sheets of stained glass can be and shared or traded with other students to create an array of color in the stained glass window.
    

2. Carefully poke out the large middle pieces on the black pattern sheet; leaving only the outline of the pattern.






3. Position a piece of stained glass paper on top of the white pattern and use a pencil to trace the lines around the section that you want to be that color. Trace the remaining sections using different colored sheets of stained glass paper. Cut out each of the traced stained glass shapes.







4. Turn over the black cut out pattern and begin matching the cut out stained glass shapes with the correct size of the poked out sections. Glue the around the edges of each shape on the black paper and adhere each stained glass shape to the corresponding section.




5. Continue gluing each piece to the pattern paper until every section has been completed. Turn over the filled pattern paper to reveal the finished stained glass window (the stained glass paper should be behind each black line cleanly revealing each shape). Hold the project up to a bright window to see the real stained glass window effect.










Evaluation:
1. Use color to create a design or pattern in the window?
2. Use correct techniques to carefully poke out pattern shapes and cut and glue stained glass pieces to the black window pattern?
3. Evaluate completed work?
