ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 1. Once you have created your brainstorm designs and have decided on one image to make into an Art Nouveau stained glass paper cut, draw your final design on sketch paper.
ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 2. Overlay a piece of tracing paper onto your sketch and use masking tape to join your pieces together so they do not move freely. 3. Outline all pencil marks in thick, bold sharpie marker lines on transparent paper. (These marker lines will be the link / connectors to keep your piece together)
ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 4. Carefully peel off the sketch paper behind tracing paper and discard. 5. Tape a piece of black construction paper behind your tracing paper design. 6. Using an X-acto knife, carefully cut around your bold, marker lines and applying enough pressure to cut through both the tracing paper and construction paper. ** Be sure to move slowly, as you do not want to rip any of these connector lines. **
ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 7. Once you have completely cut out around all of your design (leaving the bold, sharpie lines), carefully peel or cut your masking tape off to release the tracing paper and black construction paper. You may discard your tracing paper.
ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 8. Once you carefully take off your tracing paper, you should have a design, thoroughly cut out on your black construction paper
ART NOUVEAU STAINED GLASS STEPS 9. Using a little white glue, torn tissue paper, and patience, begin adding pieces behind your design. ** Don t worry about pieces hanging from behind other areas, once your glue is dry in those areas, we can trim the excess tissue paper off with the x-acto knife. **

Student mostly followed criteria to complete project. Project objectives were mostly met. Some decision-making was used. Tissue paper was mostly applied correctly, there may be a small area with holes/gaps. (20) Student put forth good effort, with minimal time wasted. Student used a good amount of color in their stained glass. Student worked efficiently and neatly. A back border was applied neatly. (18) The artwork shows some imagination or exploration, with emerging details. Art Nouveau characteristics of flowing, curved lines with rhythm are somewhat evident in 70-80% of piece.. (18) Quality of work is moderate. The work shows emerging skill and vision. Paper was cut with somewhat patience, as evident by some rough edges. (18) Work shows a med-low level of complexity. Student partially or poorly followed criteria to complete project. Decisionmaking and intent are questionable. Tissue paper was applied, however there are areas with holes/gaps. (16) Student put forth some effort. Some time or materials wasted. Student used some color in their stained glass. Design needs just a few more touch-ups or details. A back border was not applied to finish piece. (10) The artwork shows little imagination or exploration. Art Nouveau characteristics of flowing, curved lines with rhythm are very minimal in 60% or below of piece. (15) Quality of work is poor. The work shows naïve or awkward use of materials. Paper was not cut with patience, as evident by rough edges. (10) Work shows a low level of complexity. Student minimally followed criteria to complete project. Objectives were not met. Student did not engage in decision-making, resulting in a lack of intent. Tissue paper was not applied correctly, leaving several areas with holes/gaps. (10) Student put forth little effort, wasting class time and/or materials. Student used very little color in their stained glass. Design is greatly underdeveloped. A back border was not applied to finish piece.
LETS GET STARTED. FIRST THINGS FIRST.
BRAINSTORMING / ROUGH SKETCHING On the back of your warm-up sheet, divide your rough sketch area into 4, similarly-sized sections Brainstorm 4 different thumbnail sketches using the Art Nouveau characteristics we just went over to create your stained glass papercut Remember the following 1. COMPOSITION - your design should fill the whole square in an interesting way. Consider symmetrical vs. asymmetrical designs 2. LINE WEIGHT using varying line weight (thickness) creates interest, and the lines with heavier weight create emphasis. Vary your line weight not only by how important something is, but how close it is. 3. DEPTH - Far off, distant things can be emphasized by small, thin lines. 4. SPACE use positive and negative space
FINAL STAINED GLASS PAPERCUT Once you are finished with creating your 4 thumbnail sketches, enlarge your best sketch on 8.5 x 11 paper. Create a blank, 1 inch border all the way around your paper before beginning your design. Make sure all lines connect to each other and/or the border. Once you are finished sketching, continue to follow the steps of creating your Art Nouveau Stained Glass paper cut.
