| I read that Chihuly is known for his paint splattered shoes, which mimic his drawing/paintings. So, as a fun way to use up the left over paint, and supplies from the Unit, I held an after school art class for 2nd and 3rd grade. They supplied a pair of shoes, I supplied the materials, and we set to work! |
 |
| I'm encouraging the students to wear their shoes to our "Chihuly Night" where the parents are invited to see our installations. |

| 4th Grade Ikebanas, made from Clay, and found objects. The base is a modified clay rattle lesson- we didn't add the rattles, but the shape of a ball allowed us to manipulate the base into an organic vase. |

| Thanks to Ted Edinger for the use of his Kiln, since mine needs an element (doesn't that always happen when time is an issue?) |

| 3rd Grade "tower" based on the Nimja Floats |

| 2nd and 3rd did "Drawings" Chihuly Style. I helped 2nd with their signatures, 3rd were on their own. |

Can you tell how proud this art teacher is of her artists? We've had such a great time with this unit, and I could post picture upon picture- cause I took a bunch. If you'd like to see more, my blog is
