Since ancient times, art has always been present to express emotions and mark historical events through painting, dancing, acting, songs and folk tales. Cave painting were one of the first forms of art and they give extensive information about how life was back then. During this challenge, fifth graders are having the opportunity to analyze how art has evolved and they even got to create their own cave paintings using colored paper, similar to a rock or cave, chalk dust form their colored pencils to make pigments. They couldn’t use their fingers, in order to understand that in the past, no paint brushes existed, they painted with tools or with their hands.
Students created their own cave painting with symbols, but the difference is that the symbols needed to be modern to understand that art is associated with history, economics, politics and social problems, according to a specific time and period.
The kids were enthusiastic and proactive while doing the activity. We hope you pictures!
