Title: Glass Etching
Grade Level/Course: Advanced Art- Junior/Senior
Measurable Objectives:
1. Students will experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.
2. Students will discuss how people from different groups might respond to artworks that express themes.
3. Students will identify and use a range of values to create the illusion of form through observation of transparent and reflective objects.
Essential Questions/ Aesthetic Discussion/ Criticism Potential/ Relevance:
Why should we do glass etching? How can you relate culture to your design? Do you have to use exact cultural symbols or can you use experiences (etc) to represent your culture?
Resources and Materials:

Materials-
Clean glasses, Armour Etch, Brushes, Masking Tape, gloves, Paper Towels, Scissors, Exacto, or other cutting devices, Pen
Activities/Sequence:
Anticipatory Set: Students will view images of a variety of glass making projects and discuss how to tie in culture with their designs.

Anticipatory Set: Students will view images of a variety of glass making projects and discuss how to tie in culture with their designs.
Objective: Teacher will say, "Students, today we will be creating our own set of glass etching projects. Each student is expected to complete two designs. They should be based on something from your personal culture or heritage."
Guided Practice: Teacher will demonstrate how to tape the glass, draw a simple design, and show how to cut safely.
Independent Practice:
Before beginning art production steps, students will have researched symbols in their culture or heritage to use as ideas for their project. They will then complete at least four rough sketches of what they would like to put on their glass objects (provided by the teacher). From these, they will pick two designs to use on their objects.
Art Production:
1. Gather all your materials.
2. Place tape around surface you want to design.
3. Draw your design.
4. Cut out the parts of the design you want to appear etched. Remember!! What you cut out will be the "white" part! Watch using small lines. They will be very hard to actually etch.
5. Put on gloves and paint over the tape with the Armour Etch.
6. Wait 5 minutes for the etching process to work.
7. Wash all the etching cream off the glass.
8. Peel off tape to reveal your design!!
Assessment:
Students will do an in class presentation of their completed glass works. They will be instructed to describe their design, why they chose it, and what cultural significance it has to them to the class. They will be graded up to 20 points on participation in the discussion. The objects will be graded with a rubric at 50 points a piece based on craftsmanship, creativity, completion, and content.
