Second Grade students have been learning about glass sculptor Dale Chihuly in art class as well as radial symmetry. Students first drew their own radial designs and then transferred the drawings onto clear shrink film. The film was then cut out and placed into a toaster oven to create our one of a kind faux glass bowls! The students are amazed by the technique and love seeing how each piece is so unique! Such a great lesson in creativity!

ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! Yes, the students used thick permanent markers to color their film.
