Collaborative Kindergarten Glasswork Project
The Kindergarten students at Monsignor William Irwin love their school, and LOVE working together to create magnificent works of art. After witnessing Mrs. Novak’s students working with glass, Miss Hart’s and Madame Carrie’s students became very interested in glass work and things that we could create using glass.
In December, Miss Hart gathered her students in the Learning Piazza to draw our glasswork ideas. We focused on drawing tall buildings.
Our drawings were magnificent, and we were very excited to turn them into glass work! Here is an example of one of the designs that we decided to transform with glass:
Next, we became busy glass workers! Each of the six Kindergarten classes created buildings and houses out of glass – all were designed by the students! The greatest part of this project is that we worked together, and each student contributed to these works of art.
Here are some pictures from Miss Hart’s class, and some her Kindergarten students talking about the glass work process:
Joshua: “It’s kinda like a mind thing, like, because we need to figure out and use our mind how which piece goes where and how it fits together.”
Olivia: “We did it with glass, we put the pieces of glass on the other glass with glue. My favourite part was gluing it on the glass, it was like putting it together like a puzzle. We worked with each other!”
William: “Our work went in the Piazza! Everyone can look at it now!”
