The Big Picture

The new Sportsplex and the Olsen building have been receiving a bit of colour these past few weeks, and the walls are coming to life! Painters Carol Shaw and Emma Hollings of the Fine Art Department, have given that old adage, "if these walls could talk," a whole new meaning.

With input from Mr. Kingstone, the Athletic dept and, of course, Mr. Robertson, our new Sportsplex now features two of five planned murals, all depicting the first Greek athletic events (Running, Wrestling, Discus, Javelin, and Long Jump) The style is in keeping with the art of that time, and the murals are created using only black and gold paint. How fitting!

In the English Department, murals celebrating Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Homer's The Odyssey are now complete, and preparations for two more in the Olsen building are now underway.
