I think there is a real beauty to stained glass, and it seems as though it is absent within the majority of modern buildings. Whilst it tends to not have a specific purpose aside from religious buildings- I find it enhances the atmosphere of a space. Whilst it isn’t completely important, I do find the lack of detail within modern architecture to be an example of buildings no longer being made to be enjoyed, but rather used.
I decided to print my drawing of a window from Bradford Cathedral onto some tracing paper so I could fill in the windows with some designs.
The designs I chose were mostly related to greed/wealth. I chose to do this because I feel that increase in the materialistic mindset within society is one of the reasons for the downfall of beautiful architecture.
I don’t really like the way this looks, as I just find it to be rather messy. I think that if I were to ever do this again, I’d like to do it with either watercolour, digital art.
