2. Have students research the history of glass. Ask them
to write an essay or make a presentation that includes
the raw ingredients used in making glass, an overview
of the use of glass in art throughout history, and the
functional uses of glass in contemporary society.
3. Ask students to compare and contrast two pieces of
glass art from the exhibit in terms of the principles
of design (see the PowerPoint™ in the Clay Gallery for
an example of the process).
