Art!
Last month Spring Lake Intermediate students learned about Spring Lake native Winsor McCay in their art classes. Mrs. Moynihan's 6th grade class looked at this Little Nemo illustration for inspiration and then created their own fantastic Racers in the Sky. All their artwork has been on display at the Spring Lake District Library. It will stay there through Spring Lake's Heritage Festival next week (including McCay Day - June 17!) Stop in to see all the great racers - there are lots more... Here is a sampling of their super work:
Spring Lake, Michigan was the hometown of legendary cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay. McCay is internationally recognized and loved in cartooning and animation circles. Sadly, however, at the moment not many people in his hometown have even heard of him. We want to change that! This site serves as a source of information to Anyone wanting to learn more about the brilliant Winsor McCay: his life, his work, and the many ways he's been honored. It also serves as a means to introduce McCay fans around the world to his hometown, Spring Lake, Michigan.
