A couple of days ago my group and I were assigned to a cave painting and we presented to the class what the painting meant. Our painting was a very precise and detailed painting and in that painting there was a chest and animals running away from something. Their drawings come in different sizes and very detailed. I think they are very detailed because the early humans wanted to explain very clearly to people how they lived their lives during those days.
Next, early humans draw with mostly brown and black and sometimes grey. I think that is because in those days the only tools they had for painting were rocks and tools they made themselves with were from rocks and sticks. Lets say they had dark clouds and some brown land, they would color the land brown and the clouds black. I especially think that the early humans are very precise and they want people to know exactly what had happened.
Last but not least, early humans use art to express their culture by drawing different pictures and different symbols. The thing that catches my eye the most is if they draw something really unrealistic but its not always unrealistic, sometimes it's the opposite. In my group's painting there was a chest that was left behind and around it were bison and other animals so we think that what the early human is trying to say is that there was a tribe before and the animals were running away and that forced the tribe that was there to run and they lost a chest. Now you know that you should always look at the painting and ask your group " what is the early human trying to tell us"?
