Tetrapods! Four Legged Animals in Art and Nature

with the Aspen Art Museum
Made from Roaring Fork Valley mud, the life-sized Hope Hippo by artists Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla  asks us to think about the physical world that surrounds us. While hippopotami are not likely to be found in Hallam Lake, participants in this workshop will observe the four-limbed creatures that are a crucial part of our local habitat and use a wide range of materials to make art and illustrated field guides inspired by their observations.


WHAT TO BRING: Pack a backpack with snack, lunch, water, rain jacket, clothing for warm and cold weather, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses. Bring an old shirt, a smock, or wear clothes with art projects in mind.

HOW TO GET THERE: Please bike or walk to ACES whenever possible - it's not only fun, it saves the planet! Every time you come to ACES in something other than your own car (carpools work, too) you will receive a sticker to place on our Alternative Transportation Board. At the end of the season we will give away GREAT PRIZES including ACES classes, bike accessories, reusable bags etc. Make it a family challenge and have fun with it!
