Last week, our art teacher took us on a journey back in time to explore some prehistoric art. We spent the entire art lesson in a cave learning all about the ancient artists, cave painters!
Our third grade artists learned about ancient techniques dating back to the Paleolithic, or Old Stone Age, era. This era ranged from 30,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE. Artists looked at examples from spectacular cave paintings found in southern France. Themes that inspired this creativity included nature and animals such as bulls and deer. Hunting was also a common subject featured on ancient walls.
Take a look below at our experience and our representation of Paleolithic art.
