Recently, we did a lesson on architecture and discussed the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. We looked at blue prints of various buildings as well as images of buildings built by Wright and other architects. We drew our own blue prints and built our own buildings with recycled materials found around the art studio. We continued our lesson by discussing Wright's stained glass work. We looked at images of his windows. With the preschoolers and Pre-K, we discussed form, shape, color, transparency, and line.
The children worked together to create "stained glass" work of their own using construction paper, file folder dividers, tissue paper, cellophane sheets, and contact paper. The older classes cut out the shapes and worked together to create a piece like this one. So beautiful and creative!
For the toddlers and infants, I cut out simple shapes for them using a variety of papers. They added the pieces to the sticky paper and we displayed these in the classrooms.
