🎨🐟 Art Meets Tradition! 🐟🎨
Mr. Homan's latest catch—a mix of brown trout and carp—turned into something truly special in the art room! Our talented 7th-grade artists used the traditional Japanese printmaking technique Gyotaku to create stunning fish prints using Indian ink and newsprint. 🖌️📰
Originally developed by anglers to record their biggest catches, Gyotaku now gives our students an incredible hands-on opportunity to blend art, culture, and nature. Each print is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that highlights the intricate details and textures of these amazing fish.
👏 Huge kudos to our creative students for diving into this unique experience—and to Mr. Homan for sharing his catch!
