The Arrecife City Council is exhibiting, from this Wednesday, the artistic works of 16 students from the Pancho Lasso School, who have worked on their creations bearing in mind the marine fauna that exists on the coast of the capital of Lanzarote and in other areas of the Lanzarote marina.
The Councilor for Beaches and the Environment of the Arrecife City Council, Ángeles Hernández Cabrera, the Councilor of the Nova Kirpatrick Government group, the Councilor for Culture of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, Alberto Aguiar, the director of the Lanzarote Biosphere Reserve, Ana Carrasco, and teachers and students from the Pancho Lasso School of Art participated on the morning of this Wednesday, December 30, in the opening ceremony of this exhibition dedicated to the marine fauna and flora of Lanzarote, within the didactic activities that the Arrecife City Council has promoted from the Department of the Environment.
The open-air exhibition is displayed in the Biosphere gardens, a place where the Arrecife Maternity Hospital and later the Police Station in the capital of Lanzarote once existed. This exhibition, with digital reproductions of 16 works created by students from the Pancho Lasso School, will be on display until June 5, 2021, the day on which World Environment Day is commemorated, as Councilor Ángela Hernández highlighted during the inauguration.
This open-air exhibition shows the 16 works on biodiversity of the Arrecife marina in which illustrations of birds, fish, echinoderms, crustaceans and other invertebrates can be seen. The illustrations have been made with watercolor technique and subsequently digitized by students from the Pancho Lasso School of Art belonging to the 2nd Course of the Higher Grade Training Cycle in Illustration.
From the Arrecife City Council, through the Department of the Environment, several talks and workshops on biodiversity have been held in recent months on the coast of Arrecife and the entire Island of Lanzarote, aimed at students.
The exhibition inaugurated this Wednesday closes a cycle of multiple didactic activities in nature promoted by the Department of the Environment of the Arrecife City Council carried out during this year, including routes and trails, excursions to observe marine cetaceans, dissemination of water routes in Arrecife, and kayak and bicycle trips along the entire seafront, within the actions that the government group led by Ástrid Pérez is promoting to publicize the environmental values present on the island of volcanoes, so that they can be known and valued by citizens.
