We began by predicting what material we thought Chihuly used in his sculptures.
We did a little research and found out the Chihuly used glass. Many of us didn't know that glass could be melted and shaped.
To make our own Chihuly creations, we used plastic cups and colored them with Sharpie markers.
Then we melted them in the toaster oven to create our own Chihuly-like creations.
Everyone got to watch their cup melt and called when to remove it from the oven to stop the melting.
Here is a video of us working on our cups, and then you can enjoy our final creations. They are so beautiful!
What was your favorite part of the Chihuly project?
Melting the cup was my favorite part~~~Maddy
