Early Man
Classroom
Activities
Our early ancestors, with their
often-elegant images on rocky walls, inspired us to create our
own cave art.
Getting Started
To better understand the art
of our earliest ancestors, we watched two videos:
- LASCAUX REVISITED
- ROCK ART
We also read an article in ART
AND MAN called "Pre-Historic Art."
Project One
Each student created a cave
art drawing, sometimes drawing the animals in action. We used
charcoal and colored chalk, shading with our fingers.

Project Two
Next, we used sticks
and twigs to make primitive painting tools.
