3rd, 4th and 5th Art Noveau- Tiffany Lamps

We critiqued several examples of decorative lamps from the Art Noveau period, known as Tiffany lamps. Several of the lamps repeated similar shapes and imagery to creative beautiful patterns. We talked about how artists designed these pieces to decorate homes and so they must be pleasing to the eye and something the customer would like to buy. Then watched how Tiffany lamps were made, with tiny fitting pieces cut apart and held together with soldered copper. We knew that our designs had to fit together like a puzzle. We drew our designs on, added color, hung them, and put them up for customers to see!
