As we study Europe this quarter, I thought it would be fun for 3rd graders to do a project inspired by stained glass. Line, texture, color, unity, and abstract were all terms we studied in preparation for this project. To make our own version of stained glass, each student was given a 6"x 8" piece of recycled cardboard. Next, each student had to plan a design using yarn, and then glued that yarn design to their board. Using tin foil to cover their cardboard, students had to gently feel for their yarn lines and rub around them to emboss their lines in the tin foil. We used Sharpie markers to give each section color. The students loved this project because it used a variety of materials, and each student's piece came out wonderfully!
