We are so blessed to have a wonderful art teacher --- she is fabulous! She taught the kids about Rose windows - which tied in nicely as we had recently visited/toured one of the beautiful Catholic churches in the area - that has beautiful stain glass windows - one of them is a Rose window. Click here to see the posting on the tour & a picture of the Rose window. It was wonderful to have the kids learn more about Rose windows and then have the opportunity to make one.
We used a black board with oil pastels for the 'glass' and glue for the tracery. They focused on radial design and learned about Gothic windows and churches. Our art teacher had been to Europe and had slides of churches that had Rose windows. One of the most famous is Notre Dame Cathedral.
