Dale Chihuly Macchia Vase series. Students watched a video on how Dale creates his artwork. We talked about the word Macchia which means spoted and brainstormed ways to make spots on our own vases! Students received a coffee filter and designed their vase using washable markers. As the artists, students chose the positioning of the filter on the cup. Then we sprayed them with starch spray to harden them. One week later we had AMAZING vases!
