Trip-Day 4- Carnegie Museum of natural history and Philips conservatory

We started started our day at the Carnegie museum of Natural History those of you who know me, can imagine how I enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit. 
This is a Diplodocus, notice its head. Because its so small in comparison to its body scientists did not believe the skull belonged to this particular Dino.


 
My favorite! Juvinelle T-Rexes

As you walked into the museum there was a small glass exhibit



Same vase different angles.

We then headed to the Phipps conservatory where Dale chihuly art glass among other glass artists were on display among the plants.




Assignment:

Watch the video below and answer the following questions about Dale Chilhuly.

  1. Nice recap of our day! I was very surprised too at both Carnegie and Phipps today at how they showcased glass. When you think about it, this is appropriate because of how prevalent glass is in our every day lives and the value we place upon it as art!

  3. I assume you will be adding a video.

    Like you, I really liked the vase that appeared to change color based on the angle of view and the way light strikes the glass.
