This primary resource gives children an opportunity to design and create a stained-glass window style piece of window art.

Pupils will be challenged to follow instructions to make and design their own ‘stained glass window’, and adapt those instructions for their own creativity in our National Geographic Kids’ Art primary resource sheet.

The teaching resource can be used as a printed handout for instruction in class time, or for display on the interactive whiteboard.

Activity: Ask children to complete the task on the page or adapt it for their own individual design with different shaped frames, colours and patterns. Children could plan their designs on paper beforehand, considering what kinds of patterns they would like to cut out for their black frames.

 

N.B. The following information for mapping the resource documents to the school curriculum is specifically tailored to the English National Curriculum and Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. We are currently working to bring specifically tailored curriculum resource links for our other territories; including South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. If you have any queries about our upcoming curriculum resource links, please email: schools@ngkids.co.uk
