Fish come in a startling array of unique shapes, colors and sizes. What causes these variations? How do these adaptations align with it's habitat and behaviors? What is Gyotaku fish printing? These questions will guide our learning during class. Together, students will explore the external anatomy of common marine fish and the variations on their form and function. These concepts will be integrated with the exploration and demonstration of the art of Gyotaku fish printing, a Japanese art form created from fish specimens. Class will consist of whole group discussion, multi-media presentation and teacher demonstration. Students are encouraged to create a fish print but are NOT required to do so.
Learning Goals
After this course students will be able to:
- apply their understand of fish adaptations to determine animal habitat and lifestyle.
- identify location and function of common structures of marine fish.
- understand the history and creation of Gyotaku fish printing
- create their own Gyotaku fish print.Other Details
Parental Guidance
I will be demonstrating how to create a print using a real fish specimen. Some students my be sensitive to the concepts of capture and use of deceased animals. All fish specimens used in class are ethically and locally caught from from a small fishing company and market owned and operated in the state of Florida.
Supply List
For students to complete their fish print they must have the following items: -a thawed whole fish specimen 6 inches or larger -white construction paper or similar -paint brushes, washable paint -a work space such as a kitchen counter or table. *Safe food handling procedures must be followed when working with specimens. Please have all materials ready and available at the beginning of class. Parental guidance is suggested.

It's my passion to create unique, engaging learning experiences. I strive to create learner-centered, integrated lessons that relate content to students’ lives. I believe that my educational background in the field of marine science, professional teaching degree and extensive experiencing developing/delivering educational programs for all ages, will generate a class experience that fosters learners' appreciation for our oceans and environment.Reviews
