Ancient Europe and Stained Glass Art

The final candidate lesson we learned was creating our own stained glass window art. We started off going over a powerpoint that discussed the history of stained glass windows. They had showed us many examples including their own. During the powerpoint we had to write down three facts on a notecard that would be apart of the project. We had discussed color schemes and how we would incorporate them into our projects. After we started making our projects, the teacher candidate had us take a sheet of construction paper and the image we wanted and stapled them together. We then took an exacto-knife and cut out the white parts of the image. Once we cut the different pieces of the stencil, we glued tissue paper to the back of the image. Then after all the tissue paper we cut the whole image out and wrote our name on the back.

An extension activity to go along with the holiday theme, the students would create their own stencils and make stained glass images. Students would draw a black and white image and cut out the negatives and do the same process as we did to create a holiday image. We would also go over a certain period of time of stained glass art, we would just go in depth.

Here is my example of the stain glass art. I used a cool color scheme and primary color scheme in order to meet part of the rubric.
