Description:
The students were given a lesson on stain glass and shown images of examples. The activity to go with the lesson was to create a stain glass replica painting of a turkey. The students began by taping their construction paper to outline the body and feathers of the turkey. Then, the students painted the feathers and made the face of the turkey. The main requirement for this project was that each student had to use one primary color, two secondary colors, and 2 tinted colors while they were painting. After the paint was dry, the students carefully took off their tape to reveal their beautiful turkeys.
An extension activity that you could do with students to correlate the stain glass aspect is to have each student create a design using their tape and then put all of the designs together as whole window design. By doing this, the students can do a more independent project to show their own creativity. Yet, the end project will be the students combining their individual projects to create one great masterpiece. As a little wrap-up, the students could write a little summary about what they learned from their two projects (turkey and individual piece), what part they liked the most and why, and what part was most challenging and why.
