我的祖父退休后曾是一名彩绘玻璃艺术家,我至今仍清晰记得在工作室里与他共度的温馨时光。彩绘玻璃这一媒介需要极高的技艺、周密的规划与精准的操作——我对彩绘玻璃艺术家怀有至高的敬意!
许多读者知道,我在一所私立基督教学校任教,对此我深感热爱!我们开展的美术项目并非全部直接取材于《圣经》,但本项目因其源自大教堂的传统,自然承载了浓厚的圣经主题,因此成为复活节期间美术课中实现圣经融合的绝佳范例!
当然,彩绘玻璃并不局限于宗教题材。正如任何其他艺术媒介一样,彩绘玻璃同样可呈现任意设计。美术史上涌现过众多彩绘玻璃艺术家,他们以玻璃为媒,广泛描绘各类主题。本项目亦可根据需要调整为其他主题。
所需材料: 玻璃颜料、杰克·理查森(Jack Richeson)雕刻三件套蚀刻板(9″×12″)、佩博(Pebeo)Vitrea 160 玻璃颜料描边笔(20ml,墨黑)、铅笔、记号笔(Sharpie)、9×12″画纸(本项目也可使用透明胶片,但成品缺乏挺度;另一选择是购买廉价相框,内含玻璃或亚克力板。)

什么是彩绘玻璃窗?
彩绘玻璃窗由若干小块彩色玻璃紧密拼接而成,构成图像或图案。玻璃经裁切与排列后,由铅条固定,并依托坚固框架支撑;部分玻璃表面还可施以玻璃着色剂绘制色彩。彩绘玻璃窗常见于大教堂,多呈扁平板状,以视觉叙事方式讲述故事。
-
彩绘玻璃窗的历史
a. 透明窗用玻璃 至少自公元1世纪起便已投入使用。
b. 目前所知最早的彩色窗用玻璃实物,年代约为公元800–820年,出土于意大利沃尔图诺河畔圣维琴佐修道院(Abbey of San Vicenzo, Volturno)。
c. 现存最古老的、仍完好嵌于原位的彩绘玻璃窗,被认为是德国奥格斯堡大教堂(Augsburg Cathedral)约公元1065年的先知彩绘玻璃窗。
-
中世纪大教堂的彩绘玻璃:
中世纪时期,人们建造宏伟的教堂——即大教堂——以荣耀上帝;这些教堂内部布满雕塑、绘画及彩绘玻璃窗,均由艺术家精心创作。正是在教堂与大教堂的兴建过程中,一种崭新的艺术形式应运而生——彩绘玻璃窗。
-
彩绘玻璃窗的功能是什么?
中世纪绝大多数彩绘玻璃窗均旨在呈现《圣经》场景。彼时多数人不识字,图像便成为向文盲群体直观传递耶稣福音及其他圣经信息的重要视觉途径。
——这些精美的玻璃窗不仅为教堂内部提供采光,更以具象方式强化了耶稣乃“世界之光”的信仰内涵。
-
玻璃如何着色?
玻璃着色是在制造过程中添加金属或金属氧化物,从而改变其本体颜色。
-
彩绘玻璃的艺术性与技术性:
制作彩绘玻璃需兼具艺术素养——构思出契合玻璃材质特性的可行设计;工艺精度——准确理解并执行玻璃的特定形状裁切;以及工程能力——组装整幅作品,确保其具备抗风、防水性能。测量务必精确,以保障玻璃窗严丝合缝地嵌入预定位置;同时,窗体须能承托自身重量——尤其对于大型彩绘玻璃窗而言,此点尤为关键。
项目目标: 创作一幅仿制彩绘玻璃窗,传达基于《圣经》的信息。
操作步骤:
- 查阅大教堂彩绘玻璃窗资料:它们传递了哪些信息?
- 确定欲传达的圣经信息。脑海中浮现哪些图像?绘制2–3幅缩略草图,推敲设计方案。
- 在一张9×12″画纸上绘制最终设计稿。可考虑添加边框。
-
对设计进行“分块处理”:添加分割线条(线宽不得小于1英寸),避免使用圆形——因真实彩绘玻璃中圆形极难裁切。
-
将透明蚀刻板(9×12英寸)覆盖在素描稿上方。若蚀刻板表面覆有保护膜,请先揭除。
- 在蚀刻板上,用记号笔(Sharpie)描摹你的设计。
- 从顶部开始,并从你惯用手的对角位置起手,轻轻挤压黑色“铅线”颜料瓶,沿轮廓“绘制”边线。用黑色“铅线”颜料覆盖记号笔线条,尽量保持线条粗细均匀。将颜料瓶倒置轻敲几下,使颜料持续流向笔尖。待其彻底干燥(至少24小时)。
- 使用彩色“彩绘玻璃”颜料(“stain glass” paint)或染色剂(stain),为各个独立形状上色。同样从顶部及惯用手的对角位置起手,用画笔将颜料均匀铺展于“铅线”围成的区域内。务必完全平放晾干! 切记:使用后须用肥皂与清水彻底清洗画笔,否则会损坏画笔!

My grandfather was a stained glass artist in his retirement and I have fond memories of being with him in his studio. The medium of stained glass takes great skill, planning, and precision. I have the utmost respect for stained glass artists!
Many of you know I teach a private Christian school which I absolutely love! Not every art project we create is directly bible-based, however this project very naturally had a biblical theme because of its roots in cathedrals. So this made for perfect biblical integration into our art lesson that was at Easter time!
Of course, stained glass isn’t reserved for religious subject matter. Just as with ANY medium, any design can be created in stained glass. There have been many stained glass artists throughout art history that have captured a large variety of subject matters in glass. This project can be altered to a different subject matter.
Supplies: Glass Paint, Jack Richeson Carve 3 Pack Etching Plates 9″ x 12″, Pebeo Vitrea 160 Glass Paint Outliner, 20ml, Ink Black, Pencil, Sharpie, 9×12″ paper, (This project could work with transparency sheets, but won’t be very rigid. Another option is to by cheap frames with glass or plexiglass.)

- What is a Stained Glass Window? A stained glass window is a window made of small pieces of colored glass that tightly fit together to form a picture or design. The glass is cut and arranged, then held together by lead and supported by rigid frame. The glass can also have colors painted on it with glass stain. Often found in cathedrals, stained glass window are most often made in flat panels and tell a visual story.
- History of Stained Glass Windows
a. Clear window glass was in use from at least the 1st century AD.
b. The earliest known examples of colored window glass, dated to c. 800–820 AD, were recovered in excavations at the Abbey of San Vicenzo in Volturno, Italy.
c. The oldest surviving stained glass windows still in-tack are thought to be the Prophet Windows in Augsburg Cathedral, of c. 1065 in Germany.
- Medieval Cathedrals Stained Glass:
In medieval times, great churches called cathedrals were constructed to honor God and were filled with sculptures, paintings and stained glass windows created by artists. It was during the construction of the churches and cathedrals that a new art form developed – the stained glass window.
- What’s the Purpose of a Stained Glass Window? Most stained glass windows during medieval times were designed to show a scene from the Bible. Many people were illiterate and pictures were a visual way of communicating the gospel of Jesus and other biblical messages to those who could not read.
-These beautiful windows provided light for the interior of the church in a way that also reinforced the idea Jesus is the “light of the world”.
- How is the glass colored? Glass is colored by adding metals and metal oxides during its manufacture to change its color.
- The Art and Skill of Stained Glass:
Creating stained glass requires artistic skill to conceive a design that is workable with glass, the precision and understanding of how to cut glass into specific shapes, and the engineering skills to assemble the piece to make it wind and water resistant. Precise measurements must be taken so the window will fit snugly into the space for which it is made and the window must support its own weight-especially in the larger windows.
Project Objective: Create a faux stained glass window that communicates a biblically based message.
Instructions:
- Research cathedral stained glass windows. What were messages they conveyed?
- Decide on a biblical message to convey. What images come to mind? Do 2-3 thumbnail sketches to work out your design.
- Draw your design onto a 9×12″ sheet of paper. Consider adding a border.
- Fracture your design by adding lines (not smaller than 1″) and avoid circles as these are difficult to cut in real stained glass.
- Place the clear etching 9×12″ sheet on top of the drawing. If there is a protective sheet on the top, remove it.
- On the etching sheet, use a sharpie to trace your design.

- Starting at the top and opposite corner of your dominate hand, gently squeeze the black leading paint bottle to “draw” the outlines. Use the black “lead” paint to draw over the sharpie lines. Try to keep it a consistent thickness. Tap on the bottle upside down to help keep the paint at the tip. Let DRY completely (at least 24 hours).

- Use the colored “stain glass” paint or stain to color in the individual shapes. Again, start at the top and opposite corner of your dominate hand. Use a paintbrush to move the paint around between the leading. LAY TOTALLY FLAT TO DRY!! Remember to wash paint brushes out with SOAP & Water or it will ruin the brushes!
