The use of various textures and visual styles in art and architecture is used to make a statement or set a thematic mood. For example, an artist may juxtapose a piece of blue colored, scuffed glass by placing a seashell patterned piece of ceramic beneath it to evoke a nautical feel.

Why are ceramics important?
Without ceramics, it is not possible to produce metals. Without metals, modern life is not possible. In addition, the modern internet is dependent on fiber optic cables which are made from glass fibers so no ceramics means no glass fibers and no internet. Lastly the computer that you are using is dependent on a computer chip that is built from ceramic materials and the discrete components in that same computer are also made from ceramic materials. No ceramics would mean no computer.
What are the uses of vermiculite?
As a novelty glass blower, I used it as an insulated surface to lay a piece which I was working on, so that it would not cool unevenly.
How is stain glass made?
Use a piece of wood the size you would like the picture frame and cut out the size you would prefer for the picture in the middle. Typically you can find a plain picture frame at your local craft school just for this use. Glue each piece of glass on the frame leaving gaps in-between for the grout. Let glue fully dry. Then pour grout all over and wipe excess off. Once finished filling the grouts use a rag and wipe clean the glass. Let grout dry some then go back and use a damp wipe to fully clean each piece of glass, before the grout dries completely.
What occasion would ceramic dinnerware be used at?
Ceramic dinnerware can be used on many occasions. Often, people use ceramic dinnerware when they are eating with an important person, like a politician.
What is better ceramic or porcelain fry pan?
Neither actually, they are not supposed to be subjected to open, intense heat. But, of the two, ceramic would be better.
A good insulator?
A good insulator for electricity would be plastic, rubber, glass and ceramic. Hope this helps!
What is a shard of wood?
The definition of a shard is a piece of broken ceramic, metal, glass, or rock, typically having sharp edges. So with that definition, I would say that a shard of wood just means a piece of broken wood having sharp edges. If you are referring to the crossword puzzle hint, the answer is splinter.

tinted glass
What would happen if you rub a diamond across a piece of glass?
If you were to rub a diamond onto a glass surface, then the glass surface would become very brittle and scratchy.
How and why does a spark plug break safety glass?
They do not break(shatter) laminated saftley glass like windshields, I think you mean tempered safety glass as used in doors. It has to do with hardness. Glass is actually "harder" than iron on the Mohs scale, and spark plug ceramic (technically called "aluminum oxide ceramic") is much harder than glass. Aluminium oxide ceramic actually rates a 9 on the Mohs scale; diamonds are 10, glass is 6.5, and iron is 4.5. That's the key to the whole thing, and why it's surprisingly hard to break a window with a hammer and surprisingly easy to break it with a small, light little shard of innocent white spark plug ceramic. (via http://www.ridelust.com/obscure-burglary-tools-of-the-day-ninja-rocks/) Other answers (not accurate, read comments below) include: - A spark plug is heavy this would be no mystery but if you mean how does the ceramic from a sparkplug break safety glass than your question will be answered. - The ceramic from a sparkplug attracts negative electrons (Negative Static) A cars side or rear window (Tempered Glass ie safety glass) has positive electrons (Positive Static) If one were to throw a peice of sparkplug ceramic at a car window the first part of the ceramic that touches the window creates a miner spark explosion which temporarly weakens the glass to an extreme point than the rest of the weight of the ceramic breaks the glass. - You can shatter a car window with a piece of ceramic from a sparkplug about the size of your pinky finger nail. - Last I checked, POSITIVE electrons are positrons, a component of antimatter...rather overkill to cause a nuclear event just to break a window. Rethink your physics.---Although the answer is not correct... a positive electron can also be considered a hole, or rather a lack of an electron... not necessarily your exotic anitimatter.
