blog 5 Research

           




              The person I am doing research on is Dale Chihuly. I chose Dale Chihuly because he is a major staple in the glass blowing community because of his foundation of glass schools, creation of over 200 museum collections worldwide, and techniques he has discovered. Chihuly has created more than a dozen well known seriers of work, among them, Cylinders and Baskets in the 1970s, Seaforms, Macchia, Venetians, and Persians in the 1980s; Niijima Floats and Chandeliers in the 1990s; and Fiori in the 2000s. He is also revered for his architectural installations. His work pertaining to group style glassblowing changed the way people go about making intricate glass sculptures. Chihuly is one of the most experienced glass blowers alive is that is why I chose him.
              What I already know is Dale Chihuly has learned many glass blowing techniques over his life time, and has incorporated them into his work. He utilizes teams to make his creations of beauty. Chihuly is praised for his intricate constructions of mass scale, detail, and work and I hope to learn more about how he conducts his work so precisely, with a clear vision of the final product.
           

Bog # 4 Ethical Values

               I believe the most important character trait is Caring and Fairness in close 2nd because they go hand and hand, stating that treating people fair and well is imperative not only in the work place but in life. In the work place being kind, fair, and forgiving is very important for work, and the business as a whole. It allows people of any race, background, belief, or sexual preference to work together without judgement, or discrimination.
               People with these traits who are entrepreneurs, for example, have strong and diverse businesses with employees that are happy and profit gains that are significant. Some of these successful businesses that are caring and have employees that are fair are restaurants, department stores, convenience stores, and even fortune 500 companies.
               If people who work within businesses do not adopt and practices these traits, workers will not have a healthy work ethic, will not interact in a good way to co workers, and will in turn hurt the business. Not only do these traits need to be common place in a working environment, they must be a big part of peoples everyday live. The more caring and treating people fair is incorporated, the happier everyone will be.
             

My main goal to achieve by the end of  senior year is too master basic glassblowing techniques and become proficient in pipe making. I want to achieve this goal because any reputable glassblower starts out by learning these skills and for me to enhance my abilities, I need to as well. Another reason why I want to achieve this goal is because it will prepare me for more complex glassblowing techniques and allow me to make better glass pieces. To achieve this I will need to go into Revere glass every week and take lessons from the experienced glass blowers that work there. I will also always make sure I have gas in my car because Revere glass is all the way in Berkeley.

Super powers

     If I could have any super power that lasted until the end of this year It would be the power to create an endless ammount of magic genie lamps. My name would be The Genie Handler and anytime I would need three wishes I would just rub one of my many lamps and tell the genie what I want. I would be able to summon as many lamps and genies as I want so I would make a stockpile in my attic, saving the rest until I lost my powers altogether. This would be the power I choose.
