However, graffiti is not always considered a form of art like stained glass windows are. It is debated whether it is vandalism or art - therefore opens up discussion in the classroom</p> <p>Merging both stained glass and graffiti allows students to think about the purpose of each, and how they could use both design approaches to create the following:</p> <p><em><strong>"To create a stained glass design with a message that means something to you".</strong></em></p> <p>An example: “Thank you NHS” - from Lockdown</p>
