Course content
Students solve tasks in the field of glass art, which is based primarily on thermal shaping and painting decoration of glass. It is essential to examine the expressive possibilities of glass within various techniques (fusing, Tiffany stained glass, etc.) and melting glass in the mold. The solution of tasks is connected with the study of professional literature and the search for inspiring stimuli in the work of important creators. In the initial phase of the solution, a drawing and painting description of artistic concepts is applied. Students will gain information about the technological background and material conditions of glass techniques. During the semester, students focus on: 1. Small decorative glass object - jewelry, necklace, etc. (cabochon, Tiffany stained glass) 2. Glass "picture" (drawing and painting on glass) 3. Glass bowl (sintering, lying down) 4. Glass object (melting in a mold) 5. Complex glass object (sintering, melting, grinding, gluing) Following the acquired practical experience, the student will propose three art tasks for the chosen (art-oriented) subject, year and type of school, taking into account all educational circumstances
