Hints for The Big Presentation
The last part of the assignment is when students present and explain their designs.
ArtHouse's lift-off roof makes it easy for a whole classroom of kids to see each wall
within the context of surrounding walls. As crucially important as public presentation
is as a learned and developed skill, there are other possible assignment conclusions.
For example... you could assemble walls and have student's guess the identity of
illustrated figures. Would you have guessed this wall shows Apostle Thomas and
Saint Thomas Aquinas? Well, that's what we were going for anyway...
As an early term ice-breaker, you could have students create work individually, submit
it anonymously, and then try to identify each other's work. This idea is especially
cool when kids draw their own "name saints".
P.S. Don't forget that ArtHouse is a dollhouse - and can be used for conventional
role-playing between re-modeling phases! Playing within the context of the
miniature stained glass art galleries will reinforce this lesson's content.
