2. Know the materials used in painting, mounting, and hanging a glass painting.

Glass
Paint
- transparent paints - allow light to pass through them
- opaque paints - achieve the desired color, but are not transparent
- Other mediums for frosted, iridescent, or crackling effects
Paint brush
Sponges - can be used instead of or in addition to paint brushes. Good if you want to paint the entire surface a single color.
Rubbing alcohol - for cleaning the glass before painting. Don't paint dirty glass!
Paper towel - also for cleaning.
Sticky stencils (optional)
Patterns - can be placed on the inside of a glass and then the design can be copied (similar to tracing).

3. Make and display a glass painting for each of the following designs: animal, flower, and landscape or seascape.

4. Make a silhouette painting and mount for hanging.

5. Make a hand-painted mirror picture by removing the back coating of the mirror from the picture area and painting the design on the back of the mirror glass.
