Course content
Students solve tasks in the area of glass art creation, which is based mainly on the thermoforming and decoration of glass. The essence of this is the exploration of the expressive possibilities of glass within the techniques of fusing Tiffany stained glass. The solution of the tasks is connected with the study of professional literature and the search for inspirational ideas in the creation of important creators. In the initial stage of the solution drawing and painting description of art concepts is applied. During the semester the student solves tasks of this type: 1. Small decorative glass object jewel, necklace etc. (kaboshon, Tiffany stained glass). 2. Glass "picture" (drawing and painting on glass). 3. Glass bowl (caking, lying down). 4. Glass "picture" by Tiffany stained glass. Following the practical experience gained, the student will propose three creative tasks for the chosen subject, year and type of school, taking into account all educational circumstances.
