History and Art : So Perfect Together

The Art and History Departments have joined forces in an effort to promote their respective studies and to beautify the school. After months of hard work and a few headaches along the way, the departments have finished their painting project which can now be seen on the windows near the main office.
Sorry, but you must come in to see them for they are not visible from the outside. Each picture will depict a specific historical event and has been designed by the students, drawn by the students and very soon will be painted by the students. The projects, as a whole, are absolutely breath taking. It's amazing what has been accomplished and they will be on display for the indefinite future. Squeezing this major project in around their already busy schedules and shortening their time in lunch to get this done, each student has been working very hard on this the last month or so. It was a lot of hard work but, what has been accomplished is nothing short of a masterpiece.
