American Artists - Louis Comfort Tiffany


This year we are using Great American Artists for Kids for our art program. We work through a new artist each week and plan on using this book for our two year American History study. This week's artist was Louis Comfort Tiffany.


We started our lesson by reading about Tiffany and his life. J completed an artist notebook page for her notebook.


She worked on her artist notecard for our wall. It is slowly filling up.


J received a stained glass art kit for Christmas last and we just hadn't been able to use it. It was timely for our artist study on Tiffany. J chose a stained glass hummingbird sun catcher. First, she had to use black to work around the lines and, after that dried, J added the color. It turned out cute and is hanging in my window at the moment (sorry no picture). Hope you have an awesome week!
