4. It has over 2,000 pieces positioned fifteen to twenty-five feet overhead in the lobby of the Bellagio Casino
5. It is a famous and well known work of art as well as the well known Dale Chihuly

7. Lampworking The second kind of glassblowing is lampworking. Lampworking is the softening of a glass tube by heating it in the flame of a torch. Next, the softened glass is manipulated into its final form by blowing and shaping with hands and tools.
8. Formalism I think Chihuly did an amazing job on Fiori Di Como. I picked this art piece because it really caught my eye when we watched a video over it. The way they made each flower glass was very interesting and educational to me because I had no idea how artist made glass sculptures.
9. Contextualism What others say about Fiori Di Como is basically the same as what I think. Guests at the Bellagio Casino are stunned when they walk in to see a huge and colorful work of art before their eyes. Chihuly says that a person might see the sculpture as flowers and another might say its something from the sea or a dream.
10. CONCLUSION Although it takes time and a lot of work to make work of art with glass in the end it is all worth it. Chihuly’s great ideas turn into beautiful art work that bring light and a lot of color to whichever scene the work is in. Chihuly is very well known for all his beautiful glass work….
