Learning  About the Art of Glass Blowing

Froid's 2nd and 5th grade art classes paired up to explore the fabulously colorful and delicate art sculptures of Seattle's famous Glass Artist, Dale Chihuly.  Students enjoyed a video of Chihuly's use of high heat glass furnaces to turn molten glass into richly colored sculptures resembling flowers. After carefully coloring plasticware, the student's creations were transformed into Chihuly glass-look-alike pieces.
