#1. Pictured Over the summer, Chelmsford High School Senior Emily Moreau created a beautiful “window” mural in the Principal’s Secretary office at the High School. This mural is a “trompe l’oeil,” which is French for an artwork that fools the eye. Her realistic and convincing mural appears to open up the cinder block wall through a window that reveals the CHS front hallway on the other side.
