Started work on my mural project for Westfield Southcenter Mall went to the Tacoma zoo and had 70 3rd graders from Thorndyke Elementary. The children will be providing me with the images for the project.
Here we are all lined up for our group photo. Then we all went into the educational center where the zoo keepers spoke to us about the rain forest and the animals that live there.
They brought out the sloth first the zookeeper was feeding her grapes as she walked around with her.
Then she brought out a fruit bat!
Then it was time for the kids to start drawing the images for the mural, they did a really good job we got lots of butterflies, frogs, monkeys, jaguars, a few sloths, spiders, and snakes.
It was a real pleasure working with this group of kids they were knowledgeable, excited and a great bunch of little artist.
And a visit to the zoo is not complete unless you visit the penguins!
