5th Graders learned about the world renown artist, Dale Chihuly, from Seattle, Washington. Chihuly is known for his organic glass blowing sculptures. The students also took a trip to the Hot Shops Art Center where they observed live glass blowing demonstrations. A few students wrote to the artist. Let's hope we hear back from Mr. Chihuly! Kindergarten created Chihuly's Macchia bowls out of coffee filters and the primary colors!
