Chihuly "ing" in process...


Alright my faithful art blogger followers...you asked for it!  You wanted to see the Chihuly project in process.  It is truly a work in progress as my ideas have changed/evolved as we have been creating.  And when I say "we", I whole heartedly mean that!  The kids have been so excited & involved with this project. I have been piecing it together in the morning while I do hall duty & the students gather around me asking questions(and sharing their 2 cents!).  Today I showed my principal & office staff what we had so far, and they all agreed I need to have a faculty art night and do the same project.

  2. I love these. I am doing a completely different Chihuly project this year, but would love to know how you made these so I could use with a different grade level.

  3. This looks great! Are students collaborating on these, each building one piece, or do they make the entire cluster? My 2nd grade students will be starting a Chihuly unit next week. I'm so glad you shared this!
