Chihuly-Inspired Collaborative Art

May 15, 2023 by Erin Sivek

Inspired by world-renowned glass-blower Dale Chihuly, students in 2nd-8th grade created this art piece from used plastic water bottles, permanent markers, scissors, fishing line, and a clothes hanger.

Approximately 350 bottlers were used in this sculpture, which means we prevented 350 bottles from entering a landfill, Lake Michigan, or the streets of Milwaukee!ย  Well done, Dragons! ๐Ÿ‰
