| Additional Information: The glass studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design wants to keep the best of the tradition established by professors Kaplický, Libenský and Kopecký Glass is a unique and lively material with a significant impact of coincidence and surprise. This is one of the reasons why the work in the glass studio oscillates between free art and design. This balance should be natural, without attempts to establish any categories. Crucial are the ideological foundations of our work, which do not distinguish between big and small or free and applied art. This strong ideological concept should guide students through the labyrinth of trends and computer simulations, and help them avoid cheap aesthetism and decorativism, which are often tempting for artists working with such a magic material as glass. Glass design is very close to architecture. It requires a monumental approach even in the smallest forms, accompanied by a search for light. For example, a glass is an architectonic and sculpturing challenge equal to free sculpture. Its important features are the inner strength and the tension in the silhouette which conveys all emotions, professionalism and experience of the author, similarly as a drawing. Therefore, drawing is one of the pillars of the work in the glass studio. The studio should follow the path of creative design, with overlap in the conceptual approach which serves as a basis for any other artistic discipline. Examples to be followed are artists like Jan Kotěra, Pavel Janák, Josef Kaplický, Isamu Noguchi, Gio Ponti, Etore Sottsass. The studio should preserve its charisma and pride, without separatist and pseudo-artistic tendencies that could result in an overly academic and eclectic approach. The outputs of the studio should be far more varied than they have been so far and should be oriented towards real life, with all it involves. ur graduates must be able to create good free art and, at the same time, to convince producers anywhere in the world of the strength and meaningfulness of their designs, with humility and pride at the same time. | ||
