<div align="center">Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History is kicking off February School Vacation Week with original
artwork from the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School’s 6<sup>th</sup>
grade art classes. The students are experimenting with their own version
of a Mexican traditional substance called Amate, made from the pulp of
the Fig and Mulberry trees. Using their own substance of brown craft
paper and India ink, they considered the animals, plant life and
environment of Cape Cod to create their original tempera paintings
inspired by the Amate tradition. These paintings reflect their efforts to
select birds, fish, reptiles and plants interpreting them by using bold
colors in creative ways. Free with Museum Admission.<br>
