The Cavemen Cometh!
Cave Painting Mural
Visit our display outside the main office on Henderson Avenue to see our “cave drawings” inspired by the Stone Age cave paintings of Lascaux, France. Then, visit the first floor gallery to see watercolors inspired by the work of modern artist, Elaine De Kooning, who after visiting Lascaux in 1983, created a series of paintings in her abstract expressionist style. After examining and discussing the elements of both the ancient and the modern, students were asked to draw inspiration from one or both and create their own watercolors. Read their comments to see how they were inspired in their own work.
I don’t get a chance to visit the school too often, but last week I did. I was really impressed with these beautiful cave paintings. It looks like a lot of thought went into creating them. Keep up the good work.
