Ancient Europe and Stained Glass Windows Art

For Jonathan and Robert Stahl's lesson we made stain glass projects. For this project we needed tissue paper, construction paper, note cards, scissors, glue stick, and an exacto knife. The teachers showed a powerpoint and on the notecard we wrote three things we learned from the powerpoint. Then they showed us how to make the stain glass art work. First we picked which picture we wanted to do a stain glass project. Then we chose a color of construction paper and stapled the white sheet of paper with our design onto it. Using the exacto knife we carved out the white parts of our image. Once that was done we used tissue paper and applied glue on the outside of the image. We were asked to use two color schemes in our project. Once we were finished applying the tissue paper then we cut around the outside of our image.

An extension activity for this would be looking at other color schemes we see around the room, at home, and in our community.
