Medieval Stained Glass the art of stained glass reached its height
between 1150 and 1500 created for great cathedrals basic ingredients for making glass are
sand and wood ash (potash) The mixture is melted into liquid which,
when cooled, becomes glass To color the glass, powdered metals are
added to the mixture windows were the major pictorial art form purpose of stained glass windows in a
church was both to enhance the beauty of their setting and to inform the viewer through narrative or symbolism
subject matter was generally religious in churches, though "portraits" and are often included, and many narrative scenes give valuable insights into the culture of the time

Louis Comfort Tiffany an American artist who is best known
for his work in stained glass most associated with Art Nouveau Tiffany used cheap jelly jars and bottles
because they had the mineral impurities that finer glass lacked.
When he was unable to convince fine glassmakers to leave the impurities in, he began making his own glass.
Tiffany used opalescent glass in a variety of colors and textures to create a unique style of stained glass.
Created his own company that is known world wide for its stained glass lamps, windows, and other interior items.

TASK… Stained Glass Landscape For this project you will be creating a landscape with the
infusion of medieval and contemporary stained glass style.
When you are creating your landscape you will consider:• What types of vegetation and terrain/climate will you
include?• Does your landscape include architectural elements?• All landscapes must show foreground, middle ground &
background.• How will the glass be divided?• What colors will you use to create areas of positive &
negative space?

STEP 1 Research and find reference images of
LANDSCAPES. NOT STAINED GLASS.

STEP 1 Where is your landscape located?
Brainstorm with your partner using the provided scrap paper.
What did you come up with? Brainstorm with your new partner using the provided scrap paper. Add new ideas to the list.

STEP 1 What landscape “items” could embellish
your composition to create visual interest? Brainstorm with your current partner using the provided scrap paper.
What did you come up with? Brainstorm with your new partner using the provided scrap paper. Add new ideas to the list.

Step 2: Planning Planning is even more essential
than ever before.
You will:1. Sketch multiple thumbnail
including: foreground middle-ground background2. Draw a full page sketch3. Determine how to “break” up
the landscape in a stained glass style on top of your full page sketch
4. Plan multiple color choices

Step 3: Painting/Inking Using watercolor techniques
to add color in a stained glass-like style landscape
Once you have painted your ENTIRE landscape and it is 100% dry, you will ink your shards of glass with Sharpie Marker to create the look of leading. Rulers are a must for straight edges. Patience and craftsmanship are essential to the inking step.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT(1867-1959)
Architect/Designer
Stained glass artist
Inspired by the democratic spirit of America and the opportunities it afforded, he set out to design buildings worthy of such a democracy. Dismissing the masquerade of imported, historic European styles most Americans favored, his goal was to create an architecture that addressed the individual physical, social, and spiritual needs of the modern American citizen.

In Stained Glass we see:
• Line• Color schemes• Pattern• Organic Shape• Geometric Shape• Symmetry
Take a look more closely at the following examples…
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT(1867-1959)
In Stained Glass we see:
• Are the lines identical or do you see a variety?
• What color scheme do you see?
• What type of Symmetry do you see?
• Describe the shapes.
