During week four, we looked at art and culture during the medieval period. We discussed Gothic architecture and especially the use of pointed arches and stained glass windows.
Students designed their own stained glass windows using the letters of their first or last name. We drew out our designs on sheets of 8x10 plexiglass.
We finished our designs with colored sharpie.
The complete designs use bold lines and color. These designs can be put in an inexpensive 8x10 frame. Leave off the backing and you have a great finished window look!
Coming Up! We will discuss the artist Giotto and his use of shadow to create the illusion of three dimensions. We will make paint just as Medieval and Renaissance artist learned to make their own paint. We will use our paint to make paintings that show specific emotions. You are always welcome to join us or add in any way to our lesson.
