We Reciprocate

After receiving Erlangen's second graders' artwork, my students were eager to share what they had created in their art lesson. I had secured left over pieces of mat board at a local picture framer's shop and then using an Xacto knife, cut each mat board into the shape of some of the old stained glass windows of our historic churches here in Portsmouth. Children then used tissue paper which they cut into squares and used glue sticks to adhere and overlap the tissue paper onto the mat board. Next, they used a liquid glue and beans to create the woodwork of the windows. They were very pleased with the results and were eager to send their artwork to the children in Erlangen, Germany via the Internet.
