![Page 4: ENGLISH AND CULTURE An inquiry-based learning project work by Carla, Lynn, Marina, Speranza, Teresa and Vincenza Tutor: Ann Marie O’Brien English Matters’](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa11a28abf838c95b3f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHAT IS MEANT BY STAINED GLASS ART?
Stained glass
Stained glass art
coloured glass as a material or works created from it.
Throughout its thousand-year history, the term has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches, mosques and other significant buildings. Although traditionally made in flat panels and used as windows, the creations of modern stained glass artists also include three-dimensional structures and sculpture.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC SKILLS FOR A STAINED GLASS ARTIST?
Stained glass, as an art and a craft , requires the artistic skill to conceive an appropriate and workable design, and the engineering skills to assemble the piece.

AS A VISUAL MEDIUM WHAT ARE THE MAIN SUBJECT AREAS REPRESENTED?
The design of a window may be abstract or figurative; may incorporate narratives drawn from the Bible, history, or literature; may represent saints or patrons, symbolic motifs, flora, fauna, or landscape.

MEETING GERRY O’BRIEN
My name is Gerry O'Brien. I live in Ireland in Naas Co. Kildare15 miles south of Dublin. I am self employed and a carpenter by trade. As part of my business I also do some Stained Glass Work. Along with this I also find time to teach in a secondary school.

STAGE 3: PROCESSING
Stained glass art has survived over time, linking past and
present through different subject matters
Dubliners’ lack of awareness of stained glass heritage
Modern artists, like Gerry O’Brien, enthusiastically try to promote this kind of art.
The Irish Government gives funds to support Art in schools
Analysing the information, evaluating ideas, organising and synthesising findings

STAGE 4: CREATING
Presenting the results of the enquiry (a written table and an oral report from one student of each group)
Transferring learning to new contexts and enquiries: watching a video and pictures about stained glass art in Italy. Other forms of glass art in Italy – Murano.
Language practice: Vocabulary - Use of English
Production: Drawing a cartoon to tell a story – Describing the scenes or telling the stories. (group works).
Competition: A prize for the best story which will be reproduced in stained glass art (school funds).
Follow-up activity.

Activity Four: Writing (Creating)
In pairs or groups, students create a cartoon which tells a story: • Who the characters are and if they represent something• Where and when it is set and why• What is happening, what happened or what is going to happen
To promote heritage on a larger scale, this activity can be used as a competition between local schools in the area, inwhich a prize could be given to the best stained glass cartoon.(Eventually, the winning piece could be produced into a realstained glass work with school funding.)
