Glass as an expression of art.
For sure there is no concrete evidence of when the glass originated
as an artistic expression. There is evidence of Egyptian pieces from the
second millennium BC. But it was the Romans who did it more accessible
to the people by spreading the art of glassmaking in many countries.
Historically the most recognized is the Venetian Glass, in all the
United States. and in Latin America there are many artists who practice and develop this art.
Currently the most common methods of expression of art in glass are
Stained Glass, Blown Glass, Casting and Molten Glass, among others.
Contemporary glass art is used in Churches, Gardens, Hotels,
Hospitals, Corporations and even in homes presenting as
personal collections, and has become a main element in the
interior decoration and a new alternative to enhance each special place.
It is the only material for artistic expression that has the characteristic In particular,
when combined with an external element (light) it can reflect changes
in its tones, thus creating harmonic contrasts to highlight its beauty.

Entrevista en El Cafecito con Pablo Luis Rivera de AFROlegado
AFROlegado es un Proyecto Educativo dentro de la organización Restauración Cultural el cual surge con el objetivo de difundir el valor y la importancia de la cultura afrodescendiente dentro y fuera de Puerto Rico. A raíz de la ausencia de enseñanza de estos géneros y expresiones del arte en el sistema educativo nos dimos a la tarea de agrupar a profesionales especialistas los cuales tienen pleno conocimiento en sus materias para ofrecer un producto de calidad y con los más altos estándares al público y los participantes. AFROlegado crea alianzas educativas con comunidades, instituciones educativas, empresas y negocios con el fin de satisfacer una insuficiencia apremiante y necesaria, el conocimiento y disfrute de nuestras tradiciones.
