Gothic,
Architectural style developed in western Europe from the 1100s to the 1400s, characterized by pointed arches, tall buildings with thin walls and large stained glass windows, and airy interior space.

Gradation,
Gradual, often subtle change from light to dark, rough to smooth, or from one hue to another.

Granulation,
When referring to cast iron, slag and other metals as well as gold, the term means the production of small solid droplets of the material. Usually this was done by pouring a thin stream of the molten material into a water bath. This term more usually refers to the process by which small gold grains (produced by granulation or by simply melting small pieces of gold and allowing surface tension to pull the metal into a ball) were soldered (by reaction soldering or diffusion bonding) to the surface of the workpiece. Common in Etruscan goldwork.

Graphic art,
Type of visual art made for commercial purposes. Packaging, posters, advertisements, signs, and book and magazine illustrations are examples of graphic art.

Graphite,
One of the alliotropes of carbon, in which the carbon atoms form sheets of strongly bonded atoms in a hexagonal arrange, but with relatively weak bonding between the sheets, giving graphite its lubricant properties.

Graphite Crucible,
The inclusion of graphite into the body of a crucible helps to protect the melt from oxidization. Graphite was used as part of crucible fabric in Germany/Austria during the Iron Age. Later the use graphite crucibles was reintroduced as both as part of the fabric and as pure graphite crucibles when more extensive graphite deposits became available.

Grey cast iron,
A cast iron in which the majority of the carbon present is in the form of flakes of graphite. The presence of the graphite gives the fracture surface a characteristic grey colour - hence the name. Related terms: White cast iron, Mottled cast iron, Ccast iron

Grisaille,
The process is similar to painted enamel though Grisaille is painted in reverse. Here the background is black or dark blue and the images are applied in various densities of white to give an chiaroscuro effect.

Ground line,
Imaginary or real line on which the figures and objects in a painting rest, which forms a base and keeps the figures from appearing to float in space.

Ground/ Ground weave,
The background weave or foundation of the fabric into which supplementary elements are interlaced.

GSM,
GSM refers to grams per square meter and allows one to assess the density and hence quality to the touch of various paper types. To find the GSM of a ream containing 500 sheets of a given size in centimeters and kilogram wight per ream the following calculation is used: Weight per ream * 20,000/(length * width) Standard GSM/Weights for sheets 56*76 cm size: 40 kg ream = 188 GSM 100 GSM = 21.29 kg 60 kg ream = 282 GSM 200 GSM = 42.58 kg 70 kg ream = 329 GSM 300 GSM = 63.87 kg 80 kg ream = 376 GSM 400 GSM = 85.16 kg
