Stained Glass Window
This was a great craft and the melted crayon stained glass looked more real than using colored tissue paper. Some kids melted two colors together and the leaves looked like real fall colors.

Glue and paper are all you need to create beautiful 'stick-on' stained glass. You can try three different glues to create different finishes and texture.

Another site for your fine arts studies

I http://www.crayonbynumber.com/free.htm
This site has free sheets and instructions for
making your own replica of 10 or 11 famous works of art using
crayons. They offer a hard and easy sheet for each work!
http://www.permadi.com/java/spaint/spaint.html

http://www.abcgallery.com/
I thought I would share this website. It is a photo gallery online for
almost every famous artist. We have been trying to study an artist
every two weeks or so and actually try drawing or painting the art by
copying the artist's work. This website is a great resource for that.
The pictures are full color and full screen when you click on the
picture itself.
