STAINED GLASS WINDOWS


Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the world's best known architects, he is known from simple lines that resemble nature, proportion, and shape.  Foundations II students will explore architecture, through viewing some of Wright's work and then creating a similar stained glass window that echoes minimalism and craftsmen style. 

The students will use the elements of art, such as, line, shape, proportion, unity, and color to create stained-glass on vinyl.  The vinyl allows the student to display their work in their car windows or in a home window.
