Studio Art Dorofy/Duckworth/Gordon/Sanders Watercolor Stained Glass What is stained glass? stained glass can refer to colored glass as a material or to works produced from it. Throughout its thousand-year history, the term has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches and other signi!cant buildings. Although traditionally made in "at panels and used as windows, the creations of modern stained glass artists also include three-dimensional structures and sculpture.

TASK: For this project you will be creating a landscape that incorporates and utilizes a combination of medieval and contemporary stained glass style. When you are choosing a landscape be thinking of what type of landscape do you want to create? As you work here are some things to consider: •  Types of vegetation •  Differences in terrain/climate •  Is there any architecture? •  How is the glass going to be divided? WHAT YOU WILL DO: 1.  Learn about the history of stained glass windows as well as view contemporary examples of stained glass 2.  Research and Find reference images for possible landscape choices consider these things:

1.  Types of vegetation 2.  Differences in terrain/climate 3.  Is there any architecture?

3.  In your sketchbook create a compositional sketch of your landscape making sure to incorporate foreground, middle ground, and background

1.  Then experiment with different ways to fragment the image to achieve a “stained glass” style, as well as different color options/schemes to use…Use the reference materials for IDEAS!

2.  Once you have planned your “stained glass” design, then you may begin to work on the !nal paper, making sure that you draw LIGHTLY with your pencil, just enough so that you can see your design! Dark pencil lines will show through on your watercolor

4.  Once you have your design on the !nal paper, drawn LIGHTLY in pencil, then you may begin to apply watercolor using the techniques discussed in class. Make sure you are referencing your color planning as well as making use of test strips and other tools to help you while you apply color

5.  After you have applied all of the color to your “stained glass” and it has dried,, you then need to using a !ne tip sharpie, trace over the fragmented lines of the “glass” to mimic the style of the stained glass.
