In addition to the lesson plans and activity ideas included with the Teacher and Student Tools below, here’s a few quick suggestions for use of this video:
- What are some of the chemical processes that happen when glass is molten, color is added, and the shape is formed?
- Write an opinion on what is considered art, and why. Ask students to provide clear examples and focus concepts such as color, form, concepts…rather than ‘I like it’ statements.
