    Guo, Jianyong (2016) `Inside Painting', as used for Chinese snuff bottles, suggested as a new model for contemporary glass art. Doctoral thesis, University of Sunderland. Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/10274/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. ‘Inside Painting’, as used for Chinese snuff bottles, suggested as a new model for contemporary glass art Jianyong Guo A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 1 ‘Inside Painting’,as used for Chinese snuff bottles,suggested as a new model for contemporary glass art Jianyong Guo (2016) University of Sunderland Abstract This research has been an art-based practice-led project focused on Chinese „inside painting‟ in glass art. It has attempted to create a „new model‟ for Chinese traditional inside painting through the creation of contemporary glass artworks. This is timely because Chinese academic glass teaching is emerging in universities, and cast glass techniques dominate the curriculum. The research offers an example of how traditional methods might be revitalized by one artist to extend the options for Chinese University glass teaching. Potential recipients are glass artists and students as well as curators and collectors. This research mainly used studio-based art practices, inspired by traditional inside painting of Chinese snuff bottles, traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, influenced by Taoism, together with Western glass painting, printing and calligraphy in order to reduce some of the existing limitations of traditional methods.
