This past few weeks I have tried to incorporate some of what I learned about WV stained glass into my art lessons. One lesson I taught students about the history of glass in WV and then had students design a geometrical pattern. They used washable markers to color the shapes and went over the lines with a black sharpie. The students applied a layer of baby oil over the colored areas to create a transparent effect. The students were excited that they could hang them in a window to make the light shine through.
