In this project, you will be exploring the history behind stained glass art and the social and
emotional messages that are conveyed through these pieces of artwork. You will also be exploring how geometry (math) is
used to create designs in art. Then, you will create your own stained glass artwork that is representative of your personality,
culture and values, to be hung around the windows of our school.
The essential questions for this project are …

How can patterns convey beliefs and values?

How can we describe patterns and shapes through numbers (perimeter/circumference and area) and geometric
vocabulary?

What is the relationship between art and math?

How has stained glass artwork been used throughout the years? How has its use evolved throughout history?

What kind of information can the periodic table tell us? What are the similarities and differences between elements
on the periodic table? What kind of “personalities” do the elements have?
