The pre-k, kindergarten and first grade have been learning about Tacoma native Dale Chihuly. During art class they have looked at his sculptures, watched videos of how his stained glass work is made, and looked at his vessels, called Maachia. The students made their own art work based on Chihuly’s glass, as they will tell you, part one, two and three. The kids are super excited about their “Chihulys” and will follow up their classroom study with a visit to the Museum of Glass to see his work and watch how glass is blown in the Hot Shop.
What I like about west is they give exposure to kids by arranging such events. Kids for sure did well and had fun there.
