Dinosaur and Other Art by Pebble Pups

We have a number of artists in the younger Pebble Pup group. We will continue training Pebble Pups in the various forms of art.  We have free art classes available this summer.  It is a very important skill to have in the Earth sciences. The most valuable item that a scientist or hobbyist has is his field notebook where they record where they are, what they are finding, and be able sketch the rock structures they observe.  Our Pebble Pup group carries this a little further by teaching the pups in various mediums.  Next school year (2012-2014) we will spend time on some of the literary aspects of the Earth sciences and continue to enter our work in newspapers, national magazines, international magazines, and for the first time enter our work in literary magazines.  At the current time we are working on publishing our own poetry chapbook.  Each poem published will be paired with the original artwork the Pebble Pup created to go along with the poem.  Some of the pages of the chapbook will be artwork and photography. We will have announcements about the chapbook and where it can be purchased. Several of the poems have already won national and state awards by poetry groups.  One Pebble Pup received a medal from the Poet Laureate of the United States.
