Artrageous with Nate is an art education program for kids ages 7-14 hosted by Indianapolis art teacher, Nate Heck. Through Artrageous, Nate shares about great works of art, the artists who've created them, and the science behind artistic techniques. By making artists and their art more interesting and relatable, Nate hopes to inspire creativity and foster innovation in children.
Artrageous's newest episode focuses on the life and work of Dale Chihuly, the artist behind our Fireworks of Glass exhibit. Filming here at the museum, Nate and our Chief Conservator, Christy O'Grady, take you to the roof for an unusual view of the sculpture.
But Nate didn't stop there! He found Fireworks of Glass to be so extraordinary that it prompted him to rally 800 students to help recreate a Chihuly-inspired sculpture of their own. It took the students three weeks and over 1,700 two-liter bottles to produce the nearly 30-foot tall sculpture. After much painting, cutting, and building, the sculpture was unveiled in the Indianapolis Artsgarden last year.
Gather up your family to watch the full episode of Shattering the Mold: Chihuly and the Science of Glassblowing.
