Advanced students will be encouraged to develop a portfolio, possibly focusing on a particular technique. Students will learn bead making/lamp working, advanced copper foil, fusing and casting techniques. Students may choose to make large windows, lamp shades, large fused glass pieces, lamp-worked or other three-dimensional projects. Students will research historically significant as well as contemporary glass artists.  Students will be required to maintain a sketchbook and complete writing assignments for the course. Students attaining a B or better in this class plus one other 3D art course are eligible to take Honors Art- 3D or AP 3D Art & Design.
