More Stained Glass

6th grade is wrapping up a unit on stained glass.  The last artist we studied was Louis Comfort Tiffany.  Famous for his beautiful lamps and windows, Tiffany often worked with landscapes and nature motifs.  For our project each student received a picture frame.  Students painted a landscape on one side of the plastic that came with the frame.  Once dry, students flipped the image so that the front creates the illusion of shiny glass.  For the last step,  students added puffy paint to simulate lead lines.  The pictures really do not do the work justice, the frames look great and the students were very excited about them!
