Frank Lloyd Wright-Stained Glass

Description: Students will create a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's stained glass. They will begin with a blank sheet of paper, folding it into fourths to develop four designs in pencil. After completing the initial sketches, students will select their preferred design and transfer it to a full sheet using a Sharpie, either freehand or with the aid of a ruler. Once the design is transferred, they will trace it onto translucent paper. Finally, students will choose three colors to apply to their design, carefully selecting the areas to be colored.

Extension Activity: This may be for older students. Students can create a small architectural model inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's designs. They will sketch a simple architectural design, cut out pieces from cardboard or foam board, and assemble them into a three-dimensional model. Students will focus on elements like windows, doors, and landscaping by adding details with construction paper, paints, and markers. Finally, they will present their models to the class, explaining their design choices and discussing the architectural principles they applied. This project encourages creativity, spatial reasoning, and a deeper appreciation for architectural design.
