This week students will explore the concept of transparency when they create translucent designs that look like stained glass windows. Little fingers will tear colored tissue paper into interesting shapes and then glue them onto wax paper. Next they will fold and cut a design for their window from colored paper and place the paper frame over their colors. We will put them on the windows for the sun to shine through.
They will be developing their fine motor skills and a greater awareness of touch.
We will look at pictures of stained glass windows like the one at Chartres Cathedral in France and modern windows made by Matisse.
