Stained Glass Windows

Shade and Tint

3^rd grade students recently finished their art rotation by completing an abstract style painting where they had to create their own colors.  Students focused on tint and shade and tried to create an image that used multiple different shades of the same colors.  Students only had access to primary colors and white to create these colors and were required to use a ruler to achieve straight lines in creating their design.  The final product looks very similar to a stained glass window.  Medium for this project was paper, pencil, sharpie, and tempera paint.
