Action/Creativity
For
Father’s Day, 2014, I brought both my father and my siblings to
the Pottawatomie
zoo for a day-long visit. This
was to avoid a day pent at home. While
they, we all all of the animal
exhibit and had a chance to explore the educational butterfly
sanctuary. It was enjoyable to learn about all of the differing
species and refresh my knowledge on the species I knew about.
Another educational experience was learning about the ethical
issues concerning zoological exhibits, the methods for obtaining
animals, as well as how the animals are treated while on the
premises and learning about the habitats the animals naturally
belong to. I, personally, wanted to learn more about the anatomy of
certain species to improve the accuracy of my artwork. Some of my
favorite species while visiting were the leopard, lion, Galapagos
tortoise, and the kangaroo enclosure where guests were able to walk
through the exhibit. The butterflies
were my above all favorite, though.
Outcomes from this trip:
Increased awareness of my strengths and areas for growth.
Considered ethical implications.
