In this Stained Glass Project, I was instructed to make a piece of geometrically constructed art that resembles stained glass. I was inspired by the concept of difference, hence the two different fish. I was told to make a draft on grid paper of different shapes that would make up my stained glass. It was 5 shapes in total that included: parallelograms, squares, rhombuses rectangles, and two congruent triangles. This directly relates to what we learned previously learned in class. After I finished my final draft, I traced it onto glass. Me and my partner then painted the glass with a variety of different colors and allowed them to dry. In this project I used the following art and principles of design: proportion, pattern, variety, repetition, line, shape, and color. This project allowed both me and my peers to present our creativity through glass.
In this assignment, we worked with real cookies to measure sectors and arc of a circle. Using plastic knives we cut cookies into the sectors, and using protractors we measured angles and used geometric formulas to calculate areas. I sadly do not have a picture of this cookie, but it sure was delicious! Here is my PowerPoint and my work instead, along with a second power point showing you what the cookie would look like and how we divided it.
