After trying three different markets, I finally found some Tilapia to use for Fish Prints, the arts activity at our year-end Luau. Yes, Fish Prints. This Japanese printing technique can be done with fake, rubber fish, but what fun is THAT?We used poster paint, water based. The kids first did ocean background, blue and wavy, and then used 2 inch brushes to coat/paint the fish. Next step, laying the already dry ocean on the fish and pressing gently to transfer the fish image to the ocean. They turned out beautifully. Sorry all the artwork went home with Mom and Dad or Abuelitos/as.6/19/09
