udio glass in my eyes is a big part of the art industry as it has changed the view of a material that has been used for over 4000 years. Harvey Littleton was the founder of this movement and he also contributed too many artists who have worked with the studio glass movement throughout the years especially at the start. He taught hot glass in a garage on the grounds of the Toledo Museum of Art. At an American Crafts Council conference in 1959 they challenged Littleton to prove that hot glass was a medium that could be worked on by individual artists in their own studios. There were many people throughout the arts community that thought Littleton’s work had little more than novelty value.
One of Littleton’s early students in 1964 was Marvin

The first time he ever worked with a partner was in this program, Fritz Dreisbach, and doing this came the collaborative model that he has used throughout his career. His first piece that he made at the university made him aware that glass doesn’t need to just be an industrial product that is mass produced it can be personal to the maker and an expression by them too. Near enough all of his work has been very abstract and brightly coloured since he started making work. Most of his early works are quite simple but they are purposely an art form.
Chihuly is an artist who was and still is always making things more difficult and always stretches studio glass and the glass itself to its limits. He and his team try to push glass as an art into larger and larger spaces. He likes to take the 2000 years of glass making history and transform it into magnificent works. After losing the sight in one of his eyes and also hurting his shoulder which stopped him being able to blow glass himself, it has made him look at his work in a different way as he can no longer see the work as most others do so he has to explain to his workers what he would like them to do, which I think would be a hard thing to do as he works with lots of different people and his work is quite big and extravagant.
Littleton himself was open to science and industry from a young age dew to his father being the head of research at Corning Glass Works.
One of his earliest works, Pink and Opal Seafoam Set, 1981, 15 x 24 x 22”, is a tribute to Chihuly’s glass blowing expertise and the influence of famed Murano glass
Dale Chihuly is a glass sculptor whose work has brought about a renewed interest in glass work around the world. He was born in Tacoma Washington on September 20, 1941. He has curly brown hair and is blind in one eye as a result of a car accident in 1976. He established and taught the glass program at Rhode Island School of Design for over a decade. He has multiple works in over 200 museums all over the world. One of Chihuly’s most famous quotes is “I want people to be overwhelmed with light and color in a way they have never experienced.” He is doing just that. His biggest project to date is Chihuly Garden and Glass which features a glass conservatory, lots of botanical teamed works as well as many of Dale’s greatest works. It is located beside

There are many artist’s who can make an impact with how they convey their work. An artist who conveys his work with elegance, is Tom Killian. He is a local artist from California, and went to the University of Santa Cruz California. Living in California was going to shape his perspective on the world forever, specifically on how he depicted his work. In a work of art of his itled, Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz Pogonip. The work of arts creation came to be in 2002. The process in creating this piece was intricate, it was created from a wooden stamp press, the presses used are hand carved into wood and linoleum blocks. For each of the colors used in the piece, a new block has to be created to ensure that the colors doesn’t blend in ways the

Before Dale made the sculpture, he made a very small model of it.
This time, the furnace for heating the glass is located in the middle of the painting. However, now, there are two men on each side of the furnace heating up some glass on one of the metal glass holding sticks. What’s interesting though is that both of them use absolutely no protection against heat. They even have their sleeves rolled up. What confuses me is that they are holding a metal rod directly into heat instead of with gloves and with my experience with holding a piece of metal to heat in electronic circuit building, it hurts. The painting, like the last, has furnace cover doors, brick furnace, and the same children present situation. Right below the furnace, there are two baskets, one filled with red glass shards and one filled with blue glass shards which at first glimpse I thought was the finished product until I took a closer look and saw that they did not resemble glass works but instead broken pieces of glass. This intrigued me because I would not have expected people from a hundred years ago to be thinking about saving material. Most of the glass shard are probably leftover material cut off during the process of making the glass product but maybe it is also old and

In the play, The Glass Managerie by Tennessee Williams, realism is brought into the play to depict people with ordinary lives facing real world problems. The mother, Amanda, is a magazine seller during the Great Depression with two kids and no husband, she always reminisces of her glory days when they are long gone and trying to relive them through Laura. She is one of the characters faced with real life situations. The use of spectacles throughout the play enhance the audiences' perspective by adding special effects, changing costumes, and a change of scenery. The Glass Managerie includes many spectacles one of them being the projection board that would display certain words or images that are in the play.
When a viewer enters the QUT Art Museum they first see the reception desk with the typical white walls that one would expect from a museum or gallery. To the right of this desk one can see a large room with black walls that are in direct contrast to the reception area, inviting the viewer to investigate what this room is. Walking towards the room the viewer is confronted with a large seemingly out of place wall separating the room seen from the reception from another room on the right with what looks like a huge bolder. The left room has what looks like a bunch of randomly assorted objects placed on a very large black circle. These objects are arranged on the floor purposefully lower than the viewer’s natural line of sight, this work is named “Amorphology-A”. Further to the left of this one will see “Soft Shoulder” which
His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.
Instead of in the original play where Laura, Tom’s sister, is the one who has the glass collection, Fleischmann as turned the tables a little bit, and has staged Tom as the one with the glass menagerie. He has made this change to highlight Tom's intimate collection to his shy and sensitive sister. His sister embodies the emotional fragility that the siblings share that ultimately shatters them both. I think that Fleischmann wanted Tom’s glass menagerie to be play a very big part in the new production.
The thing that seems to be driving Stephen Glass is becoming a famous writer. Eventually writing something could get him a Pulitzer Prize. His life goals were to finish law school while working at “The New Republic” and rise to fame to get a Pulitzer-award (Ray, “Shattered Glass”). Stephen Glass says at the end of the film, “ You have to know who you’re writing for and you have to know what you’re good at. I record what people do. I find out what moves them, what scares them, and I write that down. That way they’re the ones telling the story. And you know what? Those kinds of pieces can win Pulitzer Prizes too” (Ray, “Shattered Glass”). He also knew that he was under a great deal of stress with both work and school that was a weakness for him. His other weakness was that he was dishonest with his peers about his work, which ended up getting him fired.
“The Glass” by Sharon Olds is an autobiographical piece which outlined one of the most memorable events for the author as she witnessed her father dying of cancer. Although the poem is about her father, her father is placed as an auxiliary character to the glass that he continuously spits up his phlegm and mucus into. The contents of the glass are described in gruesome detail while her father is slowly withering away beside it quietly. The author had a tumultuous relationship with her father as he had abused her as a child and she even has an entire collection dedicated to her feelings towards him, aptly titled The Father. The titular glass's function in Sharon Olds' poem "The Glass" is to replace the author's dying father as the new center of the universe because the glass now contains the father's life, thus shedding the once godlike image in the author's life.
The relationship between art and commerce has always been subject of hot discussion. Many people look at creativity as a vehicle for economic interest, while others view it as pure dedication for personal creative needs. The world as we live in today sees the creative industry, including visual and performing arts, sound recording, book publishing, and movie making, a highly commercialized global enterprise. People constantly buy and sell art products in a highly active market. Although it is difficult to conclude whether art and commerce is perfectly compatible or mutually exclusive, one thing is true, that the relationship between the two has not stayed constant throughout the history of art. From the early Renaissance period to contemporary and modern time, we see art gets intertwined with business more and more. There are multiple well known historical examples demonstrate the dynamic evolution of creative expression, though new system also brought challenges.
