FISHING DAY BLOCKPRINT PROJECT
April 23 - June 4 2016 Opening reception April 23rd 4-8pm.
In the Loovre at Confluence Gallery

Block prints featuring fish, mammals, and habitat of the Methow Valley Watershed created by Methow Valley Elementary School sixth grade students through a collaboration between Methow Arts Alliance and the Bureau of Reclamation. 

This student art exhibit is presented at Confluence Gallery through the Methow Arts program in collaboration with the Bureau of Reclamation.

This art residency was brought to students by Methow Arts Alliance’s Okanogan Region Arts Education Partnership. 

In this interdisciplinary unit students first learned about fish and fish habitat in a workshop in their classrooms with local biologist John Crandall.
They then sketched images and learned how to carve blocks and print them with local teaching artists, Laura Gunnip, Emily Post, and Jennifer Molesworth.
