We DREAM of ART

A day with Chihuly Art Glass


I have been homeschooling my son for a little over a month now and after completing some work we went to the art museum. Tacoma has a wonderful glass museum and art museum. Having a combination of anxiety with Aspergers when we arrived at the museum and saw a number of school buses he opted to begin at the glass museum bridge that is covered with Chihuly art glass.

My children and I like to take photos so we each had a camera with us.

The roof of the covered portion of the bridge is full of hundreds of pieces of art glass and one side has larger vases encased in glass.










There are beautiful fountains in front of the museum of glass




We use art as a therapy or form of stress-release and also enjoy studying new forms of art or learning about new artists.
Thanks for sharing our day at the museum.
