1,000 Water Bottles, 17 Students, 1 Chandelier
Mixed Media students had the opportunity to learn about glass blowing artist Dale Chihuly. From reading Scholastic Magazines, completing online research and watching the documentary DVD Chihuly Over Venice, students were inspired to create a sculpture that would absorb and reflect natural sunlight in the commons of the high school. Students worked with only recycled objects to build the chandelier including: 1,000 water bottles collected from the cafeteria for two weeks, two hula hoops, rock climbing rope and hooks. The sculpture was hung in the commons and will remain there for the remainder of the school year. Students worked collaboratively to create the work.
