2. (Domain 2: Creative Expression): Students will learn the basic technique of cutting, and creating something aesthetically pleasant through the creation of their own “stained glass”.

3. (Domain 3: Historical and Cultural Context of the Visual Arts): Students will learn about the history and evolution of stained glass starting with the 12th century going through the gothic period, renaissance, and ending with today.

4. (Domain 4: Aesthetic Valuing): Students will be able to criticize their artwork based on originality, technique, and aesthetic appeal.

5. (Domain 5: Connections, Relationships, and Application): This project can easily be connected to any of the time periods discussed in a history class. Also easily connected to geometry.

My stained glass lesson is designed  for students would most likely show characteristics of “Making Symbols,” and, “Realism.” Since children in the Making Symbols and use geometric shapes rather than realistic ones, they should be able to tear pieces of tissue paper in similar shapes, as well as creating a design for their stained glass. Children in this age group will also benefit from the exploration of different textures. This lesson is also beneficial for children who fall within the Realism stage because they can focus their  attention to the shape and design of their stained glass, possibly creating more difficult designs and varying from simple geom
