Middle School Art: Oil Resist Stained Glass

Students studied the artwork of Georges Rouault, a French expressionist painter who was greatly influenced by his time as a stained-glass apprentice.  His work is marked by bold, luminous colors and black outlines. Students used his style as inspiration for their own stained-glass inspired compositions. They used oil pastels for blocks of color and painted over the entire piece with black watercolor to create a resist stained-glass texture.
