The course requires learners to achieve the following learning outcomes:
The learner should be able to:
- Select and use appropriate tools and materials correctly
- Create or source an original design on paper for transfer onto glass
- Demonstrate different glass painting techniques
- Produce a range of glass painted artefacts using glass painting techniques
- Apply appropriate health and safety procedures
The Assessment Criteria by which these outcomes will be evidenced are as follows:
1.1 Identify the basic tools and equipment used for glass painting and describe their use e.g. tracing paper, carbon paper, masking tape, paintbrushes, sponge, boning peg
1.2 Identify the basic materials used for glass painting and describe their use e.g. outliner, transparent glass paint, acetate, glass, self-adhesive lead strip
In this class the identification of materials, tools and equipment was evidenced by means of interactive picture quizzes, done on a laptop in class and the results recorded. See results sheet, and try out the quizzes for yourself. Use of the materials, tools and equipment was described by the learners in short video clips, which appear another post.
2.1 Examine a range of simple designs and assess their suitability for interpreting in the medium of glass painting
2.2 Identify or create an original design on paper
2.3 Transfer the design onto glass and outline it using appropriate media
All learners had their work evidenced stage by stage; the digital images are in each learner's e-folder on this blog, appropriately labelled as to picture content and learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
3.1 Apply transparent glass paints onto glass, mirror or acrylic sheet using a paintbrush
3.2 Demonstrate the application of at least 2 of the following techniques: marbling, sponging, lead strip application, bleeding paint application
All learners were able to apply lead strip in some of their work, most were present the day we marbled glass vessels, others have experimented with sponging or bleeding paint techniques
4.1 Use transparent glass paints to create/enhance selected designs
5.1 Identify and follow Health and Safety procedures appropriate to the materials and equipment used
Learners have followed appropriate health and safety procedures, when working with lead and with solvents and this is evidenced in their video clips and in digital images of their work.
