In this ongoing course your learner will be introduced to some of the more famous and some of the less famous Kaijus ever. Kaiju means monster creature and have appeared in Japanese culture for years. With creatures like Godzilla and King Kong, what is not to like. We will look into how they came up with the original concepts of these creatures and possibly what real animals influenced their design. We will also discuss the fictional backgrounds and special abilities of these giant beasts and what they want with Earth. I will present a new monster and/or monsters each week. I am an enthusiastic teacher with a passion for encouraging creativity that is linked with science. I love class discussions that are on topic and will really enjoy sharing the interest in this art form. no prerequisites for this class The first few weeks of this class will go as follows; Week 1 week of 5/24/21 - Godzilla, History, design and story Week 2 week of 5/31/21- Knifehead, Pacific Rim Series, history and design.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love to teach about all creatures great and small, especially if they are covered in scales, lick their own eyes, breath underwater or even fly!
I have had over 10 years of experience with animal rehabilitation facilities, zoological parks and nature museums.
I love getting people excited or even freaked out about this huge animal kingdom and the amazing things that they can do.
I was raised on Wild America, Steve Irwin, The Kratt Brothers and any animal show I could find, I have had all sorts of creepy crawly pets and find that the most scary might just be misunderstood.
