Atelier Aquatic ​ Drawing inspiration from life in the Ocean, to life on Earth

​
​​
​A-Z Colouring book of Creatures Who Live in the Sea


​This is an Art, Marine education, Marine conservation and Social enterprise project.
The students learnt about creatures who live in the sea and chose their favourite creatures to illustrate  pages of  an A-Z colouring book.
We illustrated the creatures on the back of each page under the pseudo name Steph La Pod (Cephalapod !), see examples of illustrations below.  On the back of each page are fun facts and little poems about each Sea creature.

Amazing Argonaut facts:
  • Argonauts are a species of octopus.
  • Argonaut female and males are very different sizes, this is called “sexual dimorphism”. Males only grow 3cm while females grow up to 45cm long.
  • Argonaut female creates a thin shell to use as a brood pouch for eggs. This shell is secreted and formed by a modified arm that has a wide sail-like lobe, which stands out from the other seven “normal-looking” arms.
  • Argonaut males also have a modified arm called a “hectocotylus”. During mating, this arm breaks away on a mission to carry sperm and crawls into the female where it just hangs around until she is ready to fertilize her eggs! The female then carries the fertilized eggs around in her shell until they are ready to hatch.
  • Argonauts swim about in warm open ocean areas called pelagic sea, eating krill, shrimp and pelagic snails.

Feedback

"What you did here was so AMAZING, you were such a good teachers, educators and a very resourceful team. Thank you for having you and the team here doing a wonderful projects. It helps us to be more knowledgeable and responsible to our MOTHER EARTH. You let kids expressed their feelings about the environment through painting. You taught people how to protect marine lives and to preserve it. What you have done here in Port Barton was highly appreciated. No words can say how much we love your artwork. Our team would like to express our deepest gratitude for sharing your knowledge about marine conservation and everything. We wish you all best Anita and the team, good health and a happy life. Thanks to Atelier Aquatic"

“This is one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life. My classmates realised the importance of the sea and its ecosystem and realized the effects of their wrongdoings. The best thing we can do is to share our knowledge,”
