This course builds on previous skills in stained glass design and introduces glass fusing and sandblasting and explores ways to integrate the two into designs. Attention will be paid to both technical proficiency and to building awareness and understanding of the use of light in glasswork and potentials of using glass in specific settings. After an initial series of introductory exercises, students will be work at their own pace and within tutor-set constraints to make a series of small sample pieces and one or more resolved works in glass. Students will be encouraged to combine techniques in novel ways. |

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. RESEARCH
demonstrate awareness of a range of techniques involved in fused and architectural/stained glass, the work of artists who work in the discipline, start to apply that awareness to their own work, and present results of research and ideas development in sketchbooks and/or other visual journals.
2. PRACTICE
show an awareness of practical and aesthetic considerations for designing contemporary glass, informed by a range of test samples and the completion of one or more resolved works.
3. PRESENT
Demonstrate an ability to reflect on their research and work into a resolved final project.

Assessment Information
This course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual design works within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved design works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class.
The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum. |
