and Art of Stained Glass From a church to a person’s home, there is stained glass all around us. Most people take a look at stained glass and just admire the beauty, but not the work that goes into it. The intense planning and preparations in deciding what to make and how to put it all together. Not until recently, there has been no real equation for stained glass, but that has changed. People can now use formulas and equations to take a part a piece of work.

The piece of art that stuck out to me the most was the stain glass window about the virtues of love and charity. However, I am very biased towards this piece of artwork because I helped make it for our group window in Stained Glass. I really like this piece because I understand how much work and effort is involved in its creation. While Sr. Kelly picked the virtues of the window, love and charity, the creative process was entirely our own. We all brainstormed ideas of what these virtues looked like

Stained glass is an important and innovative form of art, that throughout the ages has grown in design, technique and been stretched to various cultures in the world.

To produce art that is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, artists employ a number of tools and techniques of the trade. Here is a brief (and simplified) summary of the process stained glass artists use to create the colorful designs seen in churches, government buildings, and private residences. Creating a Template Before an artist brings a work to life using small and large

The production and creation of beautiful art pieces using glass only began after glass blowing was used in the First Century BC. Two unique artists have used this medium to create work that is both beyond its time and surpasses many other glass works. The first artist, Louis Comfort Tiffany, was the son of the founder of Tiffany and Company, Charles Lewis Tiffany. His work focuses on aesthetic beauty while encompassing the techniques he established throughout his career. The second artist, Beverly

What makes us human is the ability to recognize the good in other people and in turn recognize the good in ourselves. There is a saying that whatever you think about another person is just a reflection of what you think about yourself; it is like looking into a mirror. Paintings can act like mirrors as well; we can gaze into a painting and see the good of the subject being portrayed and in turn we can identify the same attributes within ourselves allowing us to relate to the subject matter.
