They are a blend of native and Hispanic art traditions that continue to inhabit local homes as objects for daily use or decoration purposes. Papier mâché is also one of the mediums Mexican artists use to express themselves and the most famous types of art using this technique are Alebrijes. The origin of the Alebrijes can be traced to Pedro Linares\, an artist who lived in Mexico City in the 1930’s. Linares said that in 1936\, he was very ill and then became unconscious. While in this state of unconsciousness\, he began to hallucinate strange and colorful looking animals. These visions inspired his Alibrije art style. Sandy Luna from Luna’s Paper Designs will teach you how to make a mystical Hummingbird Alebrije. Sandy will guide you in making this unique piece with papier mâché instead of the commonly used clay medium. This is a beginner-level class. \nThis is a two-day class\, and all supplies are provided. You can bring snacks and drinks. \n$75 for members and $90 for the general public.

This PowerPoint presentation before the field trips prepares participants for maximum fun as we delve into the fascinating natural history\, habits\, and behaviors of the cranes. We’ll discover where the cranes migrate from\, courtship\, feeding\, calls\, and most fun – how to interpret crane language and behavior. Once we understand this\, we will observe all kinds of activity and what it means\, greatly enhancing and enriching our experience and enjoyment of the trip.  Even if you’re not planning to take the trip\, you’ll leave this talk enthused\, excited\, and appreciating Arizona’s rich diversity of wildlife! \nMore about Pinau Merlin: \nPinau is a nationally known speaker and naturalist and is the author of several books (including the Guide to Desert Holes\, Guide to Bird Nests and Eggs\, and is a contributing author to the Natural History of the Sonoran Desert) as well as over 80 articles about the wildlife\, natural history\, and ecology of the Desert Southwest. Pinau taught natural history at the U of A and was the Outreach Coordinator for the UA/USFWS Jaguar Project. She also works on numerous nature documentary films (including BBC\, National Geographic\, and others) as a natural history consultant and critter wrangler. \nPinau has designed natural history centers\, interpretive exhibits\, nature trails\, and wildlife habitats for a variety of organizations in the Southwest. Her insights and observations about the natural history and wildlife of the Sonoran Desert have been featured on PBS\, NPR\, and in Smithsonian and National Wildlife magazines\, among many others.
