This project is called Stained Glass in Europe. In this project, we first cut out the shape of the base to which the tissue paper would be glued. To do this, we first stapled the reference image to a sheet of construction paper. Next, first placing a masonite board under the construction paper, we traced the lines of the image using an exacto knife. This cut out the shape of the base from the construction paper. Finally, we glued tissue paper to the base to fill in places with negative space.
An extension activity to this project could be to take the students on a field trip to places around town that have stained glass. This would be a fun escape for the students while still being educational and inspiring. The teacher could instruct them to draw one design from a window while on the field trip. Later, the students could recreate this design using techniques from the project.
