Prehistoric Cave Art

 

I am the art teacher for our Creation to the Greeks Co-op, and the plan this year is to start at the beginning with art as well. 

I am pulling ideas off the internet and Harmony Fine Arts Ancient Art plans.

We started with a prehistoric cave art project.

Items needed

1. Books on cave paintings

2. Brown grocery sack

3. Charcoal pencil

4. Chalk pastels

 

 

We reviewed the cave are books and learned a lot.

  • What does prehistoric mean?
  • What the art symbolized and the beliefs behind it
  • What was drawn and where it was drawn 
  • How the colors were made and tools used to paint

 

I made up some notebooking pages for them complete as they went through the study.

Then they got to work creating their own cave art on the brown grocery sack using a charcoal pencil.

The drawings were then wadded up into balls to add the look of a cave wall

Once they unraveled them, they colored them with pastel chalks.
