We did our coral reef photo shoot today, with my advanced art class. Second class (basic art) was interviewed for the online newspaper. The students were excited to have the recognition of their work, as well as publicity. Even Mr. Principal came out for this event.
This student designed much of our pollution, especially the floating plastic bags.
This girl painted our cute little houses.
M and her butterfly fish.
R and her mini-environment - the angelfish among the sea grass and coral, lower left corner.
T, also known as the Heartthrob Kid - a background painter. One of those loveable kids who doesn't do as well as he could if he'd just apply himself - but he's hard to get mad at because he's just so nice and personable.
D and his extremely detailed coral - a great artist, but he needs to build up some speed!
A and her unfriendly moray, another predator who is looking for food amongst the garbage.
J painted this lovely truck which dominates the denuded landscape.
My favorite touch is the lightning bolt striking the communications tower!
An overview of the entire mural. (We need to repaint the lower right corner, a chunk broke off.)
Healthy and happy reef environment.
Unhealthy and dying reef due to the environment and human destruction.
