Living Art Marine Center

One thing the girls got to to here was Gyotaku fish printing. Gyotaku is Japanese from gyo "fish" & taku "rubbing". Gyotaku is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing, dating from the mid-19th century used by fishermen to record their catches. The best way to do gyotaku is when a person places the fish on a wooden bench and paints one side with sumi ink. Here the kids used fish made from seashells instead of a real fish and acrylic paint instead of sumi ink.


Choosing which type of fish she wants.

Sienna really loved being able to "pet" all the different marine life.
