Virtual tour of a prehistoric cave

Kreativni_casovi_300px_likovnoArts teacher Ana Manojlović incorporated a virtual tour through the Lascaux cave as well as fun sculpting activities into her lesson whereby students got the chance to create clay sculptures akin to the neolithic art found at the Vinca archaeological site.

Ana introduced the topic of the lesson by having students close their eyes and imagine themselves walking through the forests on the southwest of France only to discover one of the most famous caves in the world that boasts some of the finest examples of prehistoric cave art. As they opened their eyes, students could continue exactly where they left off, namely at the entrance into the Lascaux cave. Ana prepared a virtual tour through the cave because in order to preserve its art Lascaux was officially closed to the public. However, thanks to their teacher’s ingenuity, students were still able to look around the cave and observe the animal drawings on the walls as if they were really in the cave.

Later on in the lesson, students were able to try their hand at making clay totems and amulets inspired by prehistoric art. Through the creative process, they discovered what they can do, stretched out their imagination, connected knowledge from various disciplines all of which culminated in exquisite pieces of prehistoric yet truly modern art. All of this was complemented by the visit to the Vinča archaeological site where students explored one of the oldest cultures to have ever inhabited these regions.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
