Unexpected Beauty


Today we visited the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburg, PA. You may think that this stop had nothing to do with glass. Nothing could be further from the truth.  Check out the following pictures!













 In all the pictures you can see that the glass artists have created pieces that add beauty to the landscape.  This leads me to believe that there are other places where blown art glass could be incorporated to add beauty in our lives.  Think of an item that you believe could be fabricated by local glass artists.  Use artpad.art.com, paint, or your own hand drawing to create a sketch of the piece.

    Very good assignment in getting students to design their own piece of glass art.

    With some additional information on your expectations for students in their project, you could have an excellent assignment.
