owl art with first and second grade








Our cave artists were stoked about cave painting


The painting done by early man was not done in charcoal, but in naturally occurring pigments such as red (iron oxide) or black (manganese).  The animals were drawn with attention to detail, but the people were usually stick figures.  Many of these early man artists also drew outlines of their hands.  Was this a way of signing their art?
