The initial mission of students to “Chihuly-esque” was for recycling plastic bottles “fresh and colorful organic sculptures, a Chilhuly the” Vallar-Gillette said in a statement.

“After learning a lot about glass artist Dale Chihuly, arguing through higher level questioning, and a fantastic demonstration Eddleman Brock, a local glassblower, who jumped in full force this lesson,” Vallar- Gillette says. “Ultimately, we wanted to re-create a small installation on the roof of the type of Bellagio in Lincoln.”

The sculptures are colorful bottles suspended from the roof of the association of art with the aid of plastic chains and won the award for Best Bin Treasury, since the best art made from reused materials for the Lincoln Memorial IN GARDEN ART GARDEN EXHIBITION jury.
