More Trout Art, Post 7

In Trout Journaling, Post 4, February 5th, I showed you student art. They continue to sketch the trout as the life cycle progresses.

You also may have noticed the great posters we have on the window above the aquarium.


Ed Huff of Mission Peak Fly Anglers is the artist. He's the white-bearded gentleman to the right of our trout sponsor Gerry Ng in this picture from the day we delivered eggs to the classrooms.  


The posters show trout anatomy,


habitat,


and diet.


On the back of each poster is a diagram of the art, a detailed description, and Project Wild activities to use with students to help them understand trout and their needs. 


Mr. Huff credits the technical assistance and encouragement from Ethan Rotman, Bob, Flasher, and biologists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the success of these posters.

This art is a good example to students of the importance of art, research, and writing.
