Glass Art and Science

Advertisement

An introduction to materials science fundamentals is necessary for the student to understand the kind of material he is going to work with. The student will be introduced to the composition of different glasses, their significant properties, and in particular the problems related to mechanical tensions in glass pieces after forming. As a result an understanding of how to correctly plot the annealing schedules for different glasses will be acquired. Each student will acquire the necessary knowledge to order the adequate glass in the marketplace, and to evaluate compatibility between them. A basic understanding of glass ceramics will also be taught, namely their compositions, properties and applications.

The course is a two year course and will include Science and Technology of Glass, Studio Glass (Artistic), History of Art, History of Glass and Seminar. During the second year the student will prepare an exhibition and a thesis. In the second year he can have his internship in any university after approval by the Scientific Commission of the course. Each student will be supervised by a Professor of art or a Professor of Science or both.A detailed information of the curriculum can be found in the website

Bachelor in Fine Arts, Design, Architecture, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Conservation and Restoration, or other areas approved by the Scientific Commission as well as an academic degree of the 1st cycle according to the Bologna Accords.
