The process of coloring glass with metallic oxide powders,
otherwise known as stained glass, is most commonly associated
with Gothic cathedrals. However, it probably has its roots in
ancient Egypt—specifically with a group of colored glass beads
that were created around 2700 B.C.E., which are thought to be
the earliest-known examples of man-made glass. By the 1st
century C.E., Romans were glazing glass panes for residential
windows, though they were uniform in color and somewhat
opaque.
Stained-glass windows as we now know them—with multiple
panes of luminous colors—were pioneered by Christians in the 1st
century C.E
By the Middle Ages in Europe, stained glass was both a refined
art form and a religious phenomenon: Not only did its brilliant
properties create a divine experience for churchgoers, it also
provided a platform for Christian imagery
While its peak was in Gothic Europe, stained glass has had its
own renaissance in more recent years, popularized in 19th-
century America by Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Art Nouveau
lamps and John La Farge’s opalescent windows.
Stained glass, in the arts, the coloured glass used for making
decorative windows and other objects through which light
passes. Strictly speaking, all coloured glass is “stained,” or
coloured by the addition of various metallic oxides while it is in
a molten state
How is stained glass made?
 Adding metallic oxides to sand and ash or lime, then

infusing at high temperatures.
What is the purpose of stained glass art?
 Onward from the medieval ages, the use of stained glass had
a dual purpose: to create religious images and to highlight
the wealth of those who owned the building or were the
patron of the art.

Over the latter half of the 20th century, artworks made from
neon and fluorescent light have increasingly appeared in museum
collections, and have been central to art movements such as Light
and Space. The media themselves were both born of the 20th
century, as well: The first neon lamp was invented around 1902
by French engineer Georges Claude, and the first fluorescent
lamp dates to 1926, invented by Edmund Germer in Germany.
Artists of the 1960s and ’70s, like Dan Flavin, Robert Irwin, and
Bruce Nauman, are most commonly credited with bringing neon
and fluorescent light into the realm of fine art (yet it should be
noted that Flavin and Irwin strictly worked with fluorescents,
though their work was still instrumental in introducing
commercial light in general as an art form).
How does a fluorescent or neon light work?
 These fluorescent lights are mercury discharge tubes with

special coatings on their inner walls. The ultraviolet light
emitted by the mercury discharge inside a tube is absorbed
by the coating, which subsequently emits light of a different
color (and with a lower photon energy)
What is the difference between fluorescent and neon light?
 Neon lights use extremely small amperage. On the other

hand, fluorescent lights use up huge amounts of current. At
the same time, neon lights only create a mild, soft glow that
makes a room look ambient and atmospheric. On the flip
side, fluorescent bulbs produce brighter outputs
Originally introduced in 14th-century Italy as a more affordable
alternative to wood panel, canvas consists of strong, tightly woven
fabric that’s often primed with a paint binder called gesso and
stretched across a wooden frame. Though a smoother surface and
lower price points have made canvas the most popular support for
painting today, it took centuries to catch on—perhaps because most
Renaissance art was made for (and funded by) wealthy families
who preferred to decorate their homes in the city—often visited by
nobles and scholars—with lavish panel paintings.

What is a Canvas
 Canvas is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric used for

making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, shelters, as a
support for oil painting and for other items for which
sturdiness is required, as well as in such fashion objects as
handbags, electronic device cases, and shoes. It is also
popularly used by artists as a painting surface, typically
stretched across a wooden frame
What was canvas invented?
 Canvas was originally woven with hemp instead of cotton,

and the word canvas ultimately derives from the latin word
“cannabis”, which means “made of hemp.” People in ancient
India began weaving cotton into canvas around 1500 B.C. As
cotton plants and canvas fabric were traded around the
world, cotton canvas production

Why did artists start using canvas?
 Canvases were also large, cheap to make, and readily

available, as it was also used for boat sails. Other
advantages of canvas that made it replace wood panels as a
material to paint onto was that art could be done on a larger
format, it was lightweight and could be rolled up for
transport.

In the United States, we see our national standard of beauty
everywhere, in magazines, on television, at stores. Face Tattoos
is one of the beauty standard of United States. Historically,
tattoos can be traced back thousands of years among various
ancient civilizations.
A more modern example, yet still deeply ingrained with rich
cultural meaning is the Maori face tattoo or ‘ta moko’ (facial
scarring) practiced by the indigenous people of New Zealand. Of
course these practices were far different to how people get tattoos
today. Most methods, such as bamboo tattooing, would take a lot
more time and would also be done without anyone streaming it on
Instagram.

Tattooing the chin and lips of Māori women of New Zealand is
considered beautiful.
Heart Shaped Face - In South Korea, the current rage is
undergoing plastic surgery to make one’s face appear more heart
shaped. This procedure involves breaking the jaw bone into three
parts, removing the middle part, and fusing the other two
together to create a pointed chin. This face shape is seen as the
most beautiful facial structure on South Korean women.
Korean beauty standards have become a well-known feature of
Korean culture. In 2015, a global survey by the International
Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons placed South Korea in the
top ten of countries who had the highest rate of cosmetic
surgeries. Korean beauty standards prioritize a slim figure, small
face, v-shaped jaw, pale skin, straight eyebrows, flawless skin,
and larger eyes.
In recent years, Japanese women have been hit with a craze for
crooked teeth, called Yaeba, which translate to “Double Tooth.”
Women will go to orthodontists to have extensive work done to
make one’s teeth look more crooked and uneven. This is supposed
to make women appear more approachable, and thus more
attractive.
In Japan, crooked teeth or with different alignments are called Yaeba
[八重歯] which literally means “double tooth” which is when the upper
canine teeth are misaligned with the neighboring teeth. So the teeth end up
looking like the fangs of a cat, rabbit, vampire, etc. Crooked teeth have
somehow become fashionable, and there are even surgical procedures to
make crooked teeth through false canines.
These procedures to make teeth look like vampire fangs are often done by
girls. They don't spend to straighten teeth, but to look like animal prey.
