These are some photos of the year 9s stained glass windows. These were part of the year 9 ‘Ocean’s Bounty’ theme, which lasted for about 5 months and they covered lots of different techniques. They took inspiration for these windows from their fish and sea life drawings. They were asked to think about different patterns to create an interesting composition. We also looked at a range of contemporary and traditional stained glass window examples. Students had to think carefully about connecting all of the black lines, to make it look like a real stained glass window. They cut these patterns out on the black card, using craft knives.
They are made with black card and tissue paper. To make the tissue paper, students layered different colours on top of a plastic bag, covered with watery PVA glue and left to dry. You can also splodge bleach on top of the tissue paper to create nice patterns and effects. Once it had dried, the paper simply peeled off the plastic bags and were carefully cut out and stuck on the back of the black card.
I have these on display in my classroom and visitors always comment on how successful they look.
After the students completed this project we used their stained glass window designs to make laser cut brooches – see my other post for examples of those.
Here are some from last year's classes. The same technique but their theme was animals in their environment, with a Franz Marc influence...
