Stained Glass

I've seen these pictures of stained glass floating around Pinterest a lot and also saw that Don Masse did it with his kiddos. You can check out his write up for it on his blog shinebritezamorano.com

I'm really drawn to these pieces of stained glass for three reasons 1.) Their asymmetrical design 2.) Their use of similar colors on each piece and 3.) the organic feel that each one has.

This was a real quick one day project that my artists did. We started off by drawing five vertical lines. We talked about how using wavy lines creates an organic feeling while straight lines create a rigid geometric feeling. I emphasized that each line should end at a different spot. They then drew several horizontal lines across the vertical ones. Lastly, they needed to decided on a color scheme to color their stained glass with. They could color using warm, cool, or by picking one color and creating tints and shades of it.
