Stained Glass: Balance

G: 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Looking over your designs, what are the strengths of the best design? Today we will be cutting the pieces out and then tracing them to glass so we can begin cutting them out. MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN and bloody fingers will too. I recommend that you buy a box of bandaids and keep them in your locker – perhaps go in with a few people for that box.

#30Minutes x 8 and you are out the door. #MakeItWork!

20 “Clear sight makes clear art.” Observation lies at the heart of the art process. Whether your art derives from mimicking nature or extrapolating a mental construct, your powers of observation are critical. Unless you can see what lies before you, you cannot describe it. Train yourself to eliminate preconceptions and received understandings when observing anything. Try to see what is before you, not what you think you see or want to see.  Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School

Drawing: Masterworks

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
