The Nasher Sculpture Center is our other favorite museum! It is one of the first museums to offer home schooling workshops. How great is that, kids can attend art classes at a world class museum in Dallas!
Today was a class specifically for teens centering on great questions at the heart of design. The kids studies works by architect and designer Thomas Heatherwick. Heatherwick is a contemporary designer that can look at the world around and challenges the design.
One of our favorites today were the Heatherwick chairs. They were a completely reimagined way of designing a chair, perfectly balanced, comfortable, and crazy fun! The kids and I spun around in the chairs laughing and fascinated that 'someone' hadn't thought of this before. Heatherwick's designs are brilliant! If you love smart design or have an appreciation for genius, check out the Heatherwick Exhibit!
One of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!” “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” Mark 13:1-2
