Tonight was all about Earth Day! We celebrated the importance and beauty of our ocean by first learning basic fish anatomy then applying that to the forms of whales, dolphins, clown fish, angel fish, and more.  We also drew realistic turtles, snails, starfish, octopus, stingrays and coral and then transformed our creatures into cartoons!

I was very happy to interact with the kids, who called in with questions about my experience with seeing fish and finding references. I also got  2 text-requests to draw unicorn and helicopter fish, which resulted in some whacky drawings on my part. It was a real interaction with the kids and the 30 minutes flew by like a flying fish! ~Elana Amity, Event Director.
