Cave Paintings

Did you know that most cave paintings during the Stone Age were of animals or hunters?

We found out that the walls would have been really crowded with pictures. They would have been done by lots of different painters. Hands were also very popular.

In their art classes the children have been experimenting with the natural colours they could extract from leaves, plants, soils and minerals.

Another technique that the children learnt about was making hand impressions by blowing paint around their hand.

We looked at a cave from Argentina... it was amazing. There were so many hand prints on the walls. We had a go at recreating it in our classroom.
