Do you know what Gyotaku is?

students can tell you.

On Feb. 28, students in each grade level learned about the traditional form of Japanese fish printing or rubbing, dating from the mid-19th century. The paintings were used by fisherman to record their catches.

The opportunity was provided by the Beaver Creek PTO.

Dell Radcliffe is the cultural ambassador who provided this experience for the students.
