Mixed Media Glass Art T Working with Mixed Media Is a Fun Way to Make Personal Art from New, Old Or Recycled Objects T i p : B e s u r e Mixed Media Glass Art t Working with mixed media is a fun way to make personal art from new, old or recycled objects. o The definition of mixed media is: Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. This project guide combines paper, glass and solder c to create fun pieces of art. There are many variations to this art form such as holiday ornaments, u decorations, jewelry and more. t p MATERIALS LIST: a p 2mm Clear Glass (Item #X100CC2) e Lead Free Solder (Item #2999) r ½" Copper foil (Item #175012) Flux (Item #5526 or 5520) p Flux Remover (Item #63702 or 5513) i Flux Brushes (Item #5141PK) e Polishing Compound (Item #5515) c Tinning Block (Item #5004) e Glass Cutter (Item #5100 or 425655) s Running Pliers (Item #5068 or 5070) Breaker/Grozers (Item #5066 or 2202) a Soldering Iron c Fid (Item #2404) c Paper Media (Acid free paper will prevent fading.) o Two-Sided Craft Tape r Hooks or Pre-tinned Wire (Item #5489PK or 4521) d Solder Technique Studio Book (Item #6764) i n Black Patina (Item #5511) (Must use lead solder if using patina, such as Mastercraft 60/40, item #3000) g STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS: t 1. Find a pattern. The 3D bird pattern was from the book, Solder Technique Studio. The o number 5 was found online. Divide the pattern into sections for smaller pieces to work with and decorate. When dividing the pattern keep soldering and glass cuts in mind. Be t sure to number the pieces to reassemble later. h e Student Instructions Continued on Next Page. f (B) r DelphiGlass.com • 800-248-2048 o © Copyright 2011 Delphi Creativity Group n t a Student Instructions Cont.: 2. Lay the glass over the pattern and trace using a fine point marker. Using a glass cutter or saw, cut two symmetrical pieces of each section, front and back. We recommend using 2mm glass instead of Micro Thin glass. 2mm glass is thin yet strong enough to easily work with. Micro Thin glass is extremely brittle and can be difficult to work with. TIP: Put like pieces together and grind to get the same size. It will be much easier to wrap with foil if the pieces are lined up. 3. Next, cut the paper that will go between the glass. Any paper or thin items can be used, i.e. stickers, ticket stubs, wrapping paper, ribbon, photos, anything thin. Paper (B) can be punched out using an inexpensive paper punch which are available at craft stores in many shapes and sizes. Decorative paper can also be purchased at any craft store that sells scrapbooking materials. There are also thin objects available that can be added in for interest such as clock parts. Keep in mind that the project involves decorating both sides of the image. NOTE: We recommend using acid free paper to reduce fading. 4. Once the paper sections are cut, glue them together along with the embellishments to hold the pieces in place. Crafters tape works very well. Line up paper with the glass and trim off any excess that is larger than the glass. Put both pieces of glass together with the images inside the glass. Foil the edges of the glass pieces using ½ " foil. Place the adhesive part of the foil carefully on the glass so that it is centered on both pieces and gently press to stick. Remove the creases of the foil with a fid. 5. When wrapping glass keep in mind to have the overlapping seams on the inside edge of the glass that will be butt up to another piece of glass, allowing the outside edges of your finished piece to have smooth edges. 6. Once all the pieces are foiled, lay them front side down on a non-flammable surface and secure using metal push pins to keep in place. The pieces can be uneven in thickness due to the different thickness of the pieces between the layers of glass. This will give the front a flat smooth look. 7. Use a flux brush to apply flux to the foiled areas. TIP: Be careful to line up front and back pieces of glass before cutting paper so both sides face out. Student Instructions Continued on Next Page. DelphiGlass.com • 800-248-2048 © Copyright 2011 Delphi Creativity Group Student Instructions Cont.: 8. Using a hot soldering iron tack fuse the pieces together at the seams. On the bird, tin the edges first before assembling then tack together. When all pieces have been tacked together, you can begin soldering the pieces together. Place the solder tip on the seams and using a smooth motion drag the soldering iron and solder towards you soldering all pieces together; turn it over and do the same to the back side. 9. To put a bead on the outer edges, hold the soldering iron vertically and in a tapping motion, add solder moving along the outside seam to apply solder. 10. If the piece will be hanging, add a decorative wire hanger or attached a wire loop to the back top of the piece. 11. To make a stand for the letter, cut out triangles to fit the letter, then foil, tin and attach to balance and support the letter. 12. When you are finished soldering, clean the flux off using Kwik Clean or flux remover. It is important not to use water which can get between the layers of glass and damage the paper. This is the reason for using the ½ " copper foil. It gives a better seal around the glass due to the thickness of the pieces. 13. To finish up your project, polish the solder with glass polish or finishing compound. 14. If you are using solder with lead you can patina the solder. Be careful that the patina does not seep under the soldered edges or it will discolor your paper and embellishments. Using gloves and a paper towel, carefully wipe the patina on the cleaned solder lines. Use the palm of your hand to support the piece while applying patina. 15. Wipe any excess patina with a clean paper towel. 16. Display your project and enjoy! TIP: Old wrapping paper, cards or photographs make a great background. Make a themed project by including tickets or pictures from a summer vacation or camp. DelphiGlass.com • 800-248-2048 © Copyright 2011 Delphi Creativity Group .

  • Mold Making for Glass Art
    Mold Making for Glass Art a tutorial by Dan Jenkins When Dan Jenkins retired he did not originally intend to make tools and molds for glass artists. However, his wife and friends who work in fused glass were constantly calling on the skills he developed during 30 years as a marine engineer in the Canada Navy to produce items that were needed but unavailable. He began his career on steam driven ships for which it was impossible to get parts. The engineers had to fabricate their own parts out of whatever was available to them. Dan has drawn on his knowledge of woodworking, metalworking, design, engineering and making something out of nothing. He discovered that he enjoys the challenge of designing new tools that are practical economical, and easy to use. Dan has always enjoyed teaching and spent much of his time in the navy as an instructor both at sea and onshore. Dan currently lives in Victoria B.C. with his wife, two cats, and 3 dogs. Mold Making For Glass Art by Dan Jenkins Choosing a Prototype The first projects you wish to tackle should be fairly simple because failure the first few times is Making molds for your own use or for not only possible it is probably inevitable. The reproduction is fairly easy to do and very first objects I tried to cast were self-produced satisfying. Making your own molds frees you wood blocks in the form of squares and from relying on molds made by others and triangles, simple shapes which should have allows you to tailor your mold for your own taste.

The theme “Video installations in the public space” is the understanding of the essence of video and space and its aspects through the production of various spatial solutions and practical imaging solutions in the field of video art. The subject of the study is essence of the problem. In the case of this study the object is the video installations, and the subject is the process of their creation, and the concept of environment. The whole range of phenomena studied is related to the works of video art, their development and expression of opportunities and the idea of environment is an aspect of exploring the space in which they are presented. Keywords: installations, video, public space, phenomenon, movement. 1. Introduction When we think of artists, we think of paint on canvas, or clay masterpieces, or beautiful, timeless drawings, but what do you think when you hear digital artists? The acceptance of digital art into the mainstream art community is a controversy that is slowly becoming history. The controversy is essentially what many people believe in that art is created by the computer, and not by the artist.

  • Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass;
    Dino Rosin Fine Art Sculptor in Glass; By Debbie Tarsitano This past January I was privileged to teach encased flamework design at the Corning Museum School’s Studio. Before traveling to Corning I looked through the course catalogue to see who else was teaching during the week I would be there. There was the name, “Dino Rosin,” and his class “solid sculpture.” As I looked at the small photo of his work in the Corning catalogue, I thought to myself, “I wished I could take his class.” That lone picture in the Corning catalogue told me that here was an artist who understood the true meaning of sculpture. Dino Rosin was born in Venice, Italy on May 30, 1948 and his family moved to the island of Murano while he was still a baby. At age 12 Dino left school to work as an apprentice at the prestigious Barovier and Toso glassworks. In 1963 at age 15, Dino joined his older brothers Loredano and Mirco in their own glass studio “Artvet.” Two years later Loredano and Dino joined Egidio Costantini of Fucina Degli Angeli; while working at this renowned studio, Dino and Loredano collaborated with Picasso and other well-known artists of the time. In 1975, Loredano Rosin opened his own studio and Dino, then aged 27, joined his brother’s new venture, supporting him whole-heartedly. Dino progressed and matured as an artist as he worked alongside his brother Loredano to keep the studio strong. Dino perfected his skills in every area of the studio from mixing batch, the raw materials of glass making, to creating new designs.

  • 3D Printing Processes Applied to the Creation of Glass Art
    Journal of International Education and Leadership Volume 5 Issue 1 Spring 2015 http://www.jielusa.org/ ISSN: 2161-7252 3D Printing Processes Applied to the Creation of Glass Art Morgan Chivers University of Texas, Arlington It should be noted at the beginning of this paper that the motivations behind making the works detailed herein might not be readily apparent. The purpose of this article, however, is to present a few of the innovative techniques used in the execution of my sculptural work, not on the content of the work itself. In the works presented below, my interest has been in merging the methodologies and precise output control of 3D printing with finished objects in non- printable materials as required by the conceptual structure of my sculpture. Without devoting the requisite space to fully explain the ideation of the work, I will attempt to provide the reader with enough of the idea that the object is not an enigma. I have been interested for some time in making funerary art. In early 2013, I produced a life-size cast glass replica of the headstone commemorating the lives of the common ancestors I share with my matrilineal family members still living in rural Wales (Figure 1). Gelly Gwrogaeth ladle-cast glass 2013 The summer after creating that cast glass piece, the Department of Art + Art History at UTA purchased a Makerbot and invited me to experiment with it.

  • BRADFORD ART ASSIGNMENT FINAL EDIT-Merged-Compressed (1
    ART ASSIGNMENT OPEN CALL MARK BRADFORD In conjunction with the exhibition Mark Bradford: End Papers, the Modern’s education department is pleased to announce an OPEN CALL for high school and middle school student responses to two key works in the show, Medusa, 2020, and Kingdom Day, 2010. It is highly recommended that each student visits the Modern’s galleries to view the selected works in person. The exhibition is on view through January 10, 2021. This packet is a supplement to the gallery experience and offers background information on the artist and works, as well as ideas to consider and activities to complete for the open call. Admission to the Modern is free for participating students. OPEN CALL submission guidelines can be found at the end of this packet. Mark Bradford (b. 1961 in Los Angeles; lives and works in Los Angeles) is a contemporary artist best known for his large-scale abstract paintings created out of paper. Characterized by its layered formal, material, and conceptual complexity, Bradford’s work explores social and political structures that objectify marginalized communities and the bodies of vulnerable populations. Just as essential to Bradford’s work is a social engagement practice through which he reframes objectifying societal structures by bringing contemporary art and ideas into communities with limited access to museums and cultural institutions. Bradford grew up in his mother’s beauty salon, eventually becoming a hairdresser himself, and was quite familiar with the small papers used to protect hair from overheating during the process for permanent waves. Incorporating them into his art was catalytic for Bradford, merging his abstract painting with materials from his life.

  • THE USE of MIXED MEDIA in the PRODUCTION of METAL ART by Mensah, Emmanuel (B.A. Industrial Art, Metals)
    THE USE OF MIXED MEDIA IN THE PRODUCTION OF METAL ART By Mensah, Emmanuel (B.A. Industrial Art, Metals) A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS (ART EDUCATION) Faculty of Art, College of Art and Social Sciences March 2011 © 2011, Department of General Art Studies DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work toward the M.A Art Education degree and that, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no materials previously published by another person or material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree of the university, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. ……………………………….. ……………………………….. ………………………….. Student’s name & ID Signature Date Certified by ……………………………….. ……………………………….. ………………………….. Supervisor’s Name Signature Date Certified by ……………………………….. ……………………………….. ………………………….. Head of Department’s Name Signature Date ii ABSTRACT The focus of this study was to explore and incorporate various artistic and non artistic media into the production of metal art. The researcher was particularly interested in integrating more non metallic materials that are not traditional to the production of metal art in the decoration, finishing and the protective coating of metal art works. Basic hand forming techniques including raising, chasing and repoussé, piercing and soldering were employed in the execution of the works. Other techniques such as painting, dyeing and macramé were also used. Non metallic media that were used in the production of the works included leather, nail polish, acrylic paint, epoxy, formica glue, graphite, eye pencil, lagging, foam, wood, shoe polish, shoe lace, eggshell paper, spray paint, cotton cords and correction fluid.

  • 4 from New York a Group Exhibition Guest Curated by John Beech
    CHARLOTTE JACKSON FINE ART PRESENTS: 4 from New York A Group Exhibition Guest Curated by John Beech February 9 through March 4, 2007 Gallery artist John Beech brings the work of three fellow New York artists, Joyce Kim, Christopher Lesnewski, and Michael Voss to Santa Fe for this exhibition. In keeping with Beech’s own interest in materiality and the de-contextualizing of the everyday, the works of each of these artists, although visually very different, share a concern with the physical properties of materials used in their construction. Works in this exhibition will include painting and sculpture in a variety and blending of techniques from collage and painting to construction and printing. John Beech’s own work defies one particular description because he creates so many different kinds of art objects. From his photographs of dumpsters painted over with acrylics, to his glue paintings which project from the wall, to his rotating sculptures constructed with various types of wheels and rotating hardware, one of the elements present in all of Beech’s work is a proletarian view and use of everyday materials. Most of Beech’s works are made of items that can be picked up in any hardware store. For example, one piece featured in this exhibition is made of a painted fleece blanket attached to a wheel. The works themselves, constructed of familiar materials achieve a dissonance whereby the viewer is forced to see both art and the “ordinary” world in a new way. This sense of the familiar, set slightly askew, is present in the works of the other artists in this exhibition.
