Analyze and understand glass as a material for fine art. Be able to use it in different techniques such as the kiln casting: pâte de verre and casting .
Developing specific knowledge and apply it to a particular content
To distinguish, select and make use of multiple media and modes of representation of the various glass techniques
Understanding glass as a material to produce contemporary art.
Students acquire the knowledge of working with glass as a material for the realization of contemporary art pieces, within their individual work with a creative and innovative way
The skills acquired by students aim at understanding and comprehending the several techniques acquire, applying then to their piratical work in an original way, with accuracy demonstrating the technological procedures. Students learn the technician of glass as a material within the workshop practice. The practical knowledge is integrate on their atelier projects (Painting, Sculpture and Multimedia)
The students also learn to work in groups, in a collaborative labor of using the equipment available in the workshops.
Students understand the use and application of glass in its various components, combined with the fine arts, architecture, design and public art

Glass and space : projects with this concept
Participation in seminars and workshops
The students start to make exercises to learn the several techniques: mold making (free style) for pâte de verre pieces; pieces with talk and without talk, study of different granulometries, hollow and solid pieces; molds for casting (open molds and molds with vessel), lost wax technique. The students should be able to understand the glass compatibility (COE) and annealing schedule.
Along with these new techniques, fusing and slumping exercises will be made. In this works the student should apply the knowledge acquired in the first level (Stained glass ) and made works in advance level.
Pate de verre technique
Glass Fragility
The students should be able to comprehend the glass compatibility (COE) and made a correct annealing schedule for the works they are doing.
Casting technique
Variation of colour in glass
The students should be able to comprehend the glass compatibility (COE) and made a correct annealing schedule for the works they are doing.
The students can integrate several techniques in one single project, such as, fusing and slumping
