Definition<\/a>: “Glass<\/b> is an amorphous<\/a> (non-crystalline<\/a>) solid material that exhibits a glass transition<\/a>, which is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber-like state. Glasses are typically brittle<\/a> and can be optically transparent<\/a>. The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows<\/a> and drinking vessels<\/a>, is soda-lime glass<\/a>, composed of about 75% silica<\/a> (SiO2<\/sub>) plus sodium oxide<\/a> (Na2<\/sub>O) from soda ash, lime<\/a> (CaO), and several minor additives. Often, the term glass<\/i> is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use.<\/p>\n

From the 19th century, various types of fancy glass started to become significant branches of the decorative arts<\/a>. Objects made out of glass include not only traditional objects such as vessels (bowls<\/a>, vases<\/a>, bottles<\/a>, and other containers), paperweights<\/a>, marbles<\/a>, beads<\/a>, but an endless range of sculpture and installation art<\/a> as well. Colored glass is often used, though sometimes the glass is painted, innumerable examples exist of the use of stained glass.<\/p>\n

In science, however, the term glass<\/i> is usually defined in a much wider sense, including every solid that possesses a non-crystalline (i.e. amorphous<\/a>) structure and that exhibits a glass transition<\/a> when heated towards the liquid state. In this wider sense, glasses can be made of quite different classes of materials: metallic alloys<\/a>, ionic melts, aqueous solutions<\/a>, molecular liquids, and polymers<\/a>. For many applications (bottles<\/a>, eyewear<\/a>) polymer glasses (acrylic glass<\/a>, polycarbonate<\/a>, polyethylene terephthalate<\/a>) are a lighter alternative to traditional silica glasses.” (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n

Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and\/or your blog.<\/p>\n

We are also talking about this on Twitter. Use the hashtag #CPP<\/p>\n

The Creative Prompt Project, also, has a Flickr group<\/a>, which you can join to\u00a0 post your responses. I created this spot so those of you without blogs and websites would have a place to post your responses.<\/p>\n
