Cave Art can provide many clues into the lives of people living in the Stone Age. We had a great discussion last week about cave art and what the various paintings mean. We looked at paintings and discussed what we saw, what the paintings were trying to tell us, and what we can learn about life in the Stone Age based on the paintings. Artifacts that have been dug up and cave paintings that have been discovered are the two most significant methods of learning about the Stone Age.
I have provided a link for you to click on to further your learning and understanding of cave art. By clicking "The Cave of Lascaux" you will enter a website dealing with various aspects of cave art. After you have arrived at the website, click on "Discover" then click on "Virtual Visit." This site will give you options of various gallerys you can look at to see more cave paintings. Another option: after arriving at the main site, click on "Learn" then click on "Test your knowledge." This is a fun site that provides puzzles of the cave art for you to put together.

ReplyDeleteWhat I have learned about studying cave art is that they had very cool animals back then. What cave art tells me about the stone age is that there was a lot of struggling for survival.
hi,my favorite painting is actually the one you showed us that was split into two pieces.cave art is like the book, and the history of the times when there was not a language and there was no way to write any thing down. Cave art can tell us about what they thought and pretty much anything you could ever think of .sometimes cave art is just a drawing possibly just a small stick person or something but it alwst=ys means something the stickpereson could be a mystery or scientists could probably make a prediction of what it ment.
ReplyDelete#1.i would have to say the poctire that is actually two pictures together.
ReplyDelete#2.that the caveman did the cave art to tell people today their expirentes

My favorite painting is the 1 that is on your page.There paintings told about there daliy life.
ReplyDeleteThey had to work for thier food.
I liked the "The Painted Gallery" the most because it had sooo many different animals. I have learned that stone age people liked to show importent and special events through cave art. Cave art tells us that hunting in the stone age was very dangerous because they didn't have guns or bow & arrows.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite painting in the back to back bison picture in the main gallery. I liked it because there were two bison that looked like they were leaving each other.
ReplyDeleteThe Stone Age people expressed their stories by drawing pictures on the cave walls.
The cave art tells how the people did certain things like hunting, cooking, fishing and shooting.
1.I would have to say this one also because it looks like a herd of animals.
ReplyDelete2.that the caveman did that so they told us what they did back then.
3.that they had to hunt for their food and we just go down to the super market and that they lived in caves anf stick houses and sod houses.
What I learned from studying cave art is that it was the first hand writing know first.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr.Klumper I think that Cave Art is soooo important to us cause they give us daily info about sometime long ago.
ReplyDeleteVery informative post. The complex painted caves of Lascaux are located in the Dordogne region. The awe-inspiring paintings are also described as ‘the antediluvian Sistine Chapel’.1200 visitors daily visit the cave. The initial climatic situation had been re-build and maintained with the assistance of a fully-automated system. The original caves were made in 1980 called as Lascaux II. The Great Hall of the Bulls with its vast-spanning murals comprises of animals like horses, stags and bulls. you can find beautiful art form based on the conventional ancient animal premise inclusive of bison, stag, ibexes.
