inspired by the Lascaux cave paintings

Another classroom project at HDMS. I asked the students to mix acrylic paint with sand in the cave-like colors. We covered cardboard and let them dry overnight. The next day I presented a brief lecture on the cave art of Lascaux in France and we proceeded to create our own cave drawings with chalk pastels on the rough cave-like surface. The teacher then created a cave in the room using sheets and boards and the art was posted inside and the studens had to take a flashlight and craw inside to see their drawings. What fun!
