Visual Art students started the 2023-24 school year with a project to create large scale artworks inspired by Mammoth Cave National Park in south central Kentucky. More than a cave, Mammoth Cave National Park is home to thousands of years of human history and a rich diversity of plant and animal life, earning it the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve. Karst topography, rolling hills, deep river valleys, and the world’s longest known cave system, Mammoth Cave captured the attention of students and inspired student artists as they created paintings, fiber art, drawings and mixed media works depicting scenes from their research.

All 2D Visual Art classes participated in the project, and a selection of works are included in an exhibit at the Mammoth Cave National Park Visitor’s Center through January, 2024. Congratulations to all!
